The Timekeepers is based on the 300-year old story of Wakefield born genius John Harrison, who set his mind to the great mystery of the age - the perfect measurement of time and space. In our concept the secrets of The Timekeepers go much deeper. So perfect and so intricate were these marvels, that they were able to tame time and space itself. They could transport you to any moment in time, any place on the map - a time machine through which moments of past, present and future could be glimpsed. Now, 300 years later, these devices have returned, to ignite new voyages of discovery and wonder. Across lands, seas, histories and futures, we invite you to travel with The Timekeepers, Harrison’s great gift to the world, and to journey through them along Wakefield’s extraordinary timelines past, present, and yet to come. It celebrates the great variety of heritage, culture and arts that can be discovered across the Wakefield district.
