Today we announce more events and performances for our inaugural festive series ‘The 12 Dates of Christmas’, a brand new seasonal programme taking place this December.

A diverse and ambitious programme of twelve events taking place across our venues and spaces, the debut Christmas programme will include everything from pop-stars and stand up comedy to candlelit classical music, funk & soul parties and much more.

Sharing another exciting preview of the debut programme, we have unveiled four more of the series’ headline performers today. Leading this announcement is broadcasting legend Craig Charles who will be bringing his famous Funk and Soul House Party to Wakefield on 14th December. Also announced today is LIVE! at the Yard – Country Christmas, which sees award-winning UK Country and Americana artists Jade Helliwell, Kezia Gill and Oscar Corney introducing West Yorkshire to the frontier festivities of the Wild West on Saturday, 7th December.

Friday 13th of December will see Tileyard North host to one of the world’s leading Oasis tribute acts, Definitely Oasis. Hot on the heels of the unlikely reformation of the Manchester legends, Definitely Oasis’ dedication to perfecting the look, sound and electric energy of the Gallagher brothers has led to them selling out shows up and down the country and will be the perfect warm-up for 2025’s biggest reunion.

Closing out our latest announcement is a special, candlelit Christmas concert courtesy of an ensemble from The Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra who, on 19th December, will be performing a collection of festive compositions old and new in TYN’s purpose-built and acoustically-treated 800-capacity venue.

With these four acts joining the previously announced Marvin Humes’ Noughties Baby, Bingo Bango and Skinny Living, we have five more events still to be revealed, rounding out a carefully curated programme of events designed for everyone in Wakefield to enjoy.

Daniel Mottram – COO, Tileyard North said:

“The response to our inaugural 12 Dates of Christmas series has been incredible with over a thousand tickets already sold for the first three events. We have big plans for the venue at Tileyard North and these Christmas shows are a huge part of showing that ambition to Wakefield. To have the iconic Craig Charles coming to blow the roof off the place in the same series as the beautiful Candlelight Christmas courtesy of the Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra just proves to us the versatility of the space and the possibilities to create one of the regions most diverse event offerings”
