About Henry Boons Yard Bar

Henry Boons Yard Bar sits at 130 Westgate, Wakefield, WF2 9SR, a venue with a storied past as Boons Yard and later iterations that have shaped its role in the local cultural scene. Housed in a space originally known as a traditional pub with a Boons Yard extension for events, this site offers flexible space for performances, private functions, and community gatherings. The venue is within walking distance of Wakefield Westgate railway station, making it accessible for visitors from across the region. While the site has undergone several branding and licensing changes, it remains a central point for live music history, function events, and now evolving hospitality concepts. Whether you’re planning a night of music, a private function, or simply visiting the area, this page provides seating, parking, transit details, and nearby accommodations and dining options to help you plan your visit with ease.

Please note: capacity details for Henry Boons Yard Bar aren’t published as a fixed number. The site reportedly encompasses around 7,000 sq ft of total floor area as of 2023, with historical licensing including Boons Yard Bar and Henry Boons Bar as separate areas. For the most current status on licensing, capacity, and permissible uses, check with Wakefield Council licensing. The venue’s branding has shifted over time (from Boons Yard to Henry Boons Bar, then reports of a chai bar under Chai Shai in late 2025). For planning events or visits, secure seats or spaces early and confirm current offerings and permissions via the venue’s official channels.
