Willow Bank Heritage Village is an affordable, fun and interactive living museum 1km south of Wakefield. With 20+ shop displays for you to explore, food & drink and lots more. A place to get dressed up, to embrace the fun, and immerse yourselves in times gone by.

We have actors who create a unique cultural experience offering various activities of the early 1900’s. Willowbank is ever growing and changing, so there is most likely something new every visit!
