Clarke Hall is a late 17th century brick-built gentleman farmer's house in the north of Wakefield, with contemporary and replica furnishings, now used as a living history museum.

The gardens are restored in 17th century style. A modern visitor centre on the site features exhibits and displays related to the history of Clarke Hall and its owners.

Because of its size, Clarke Hall is reserved for use by school groups in term-time. The Hall, gardens and visitor centre are open to the public on certain days each year for special Open Day Living History events. There are also regular family activities during school holidays, including guided tours by costumed guides.
