About Waking Wakefield

An image of three of the fae characters: Rombald asleep as a hill, Padfoot the dog jumping across Rombald's back and Áine the faerie in the foreground. Text at the top reads: 'Launches 21st June'

Waking Wakefield was an Alternate Reality Game funded by Wakefield Council as part of the Festival of the Earth 2021. It engaged both young and old in making small, sustainable changes to their lives to fight the climate crisis.

The game was free to play to anyone anywhere, they only needed a device with an Internet connection.
