This film contains footage of a sports day; a field is full of children who sit and stand around while some adults walk around talking to them. They take part in a variety of races including the six-legged race and a race where two people run along while back to back.
Some scouts stand at a microphone and talk to a crowd and following this, a man is on a stage performing for the children. Then some children pose for the camera at an amusement park which has a roundabout, boat swings and merry-go-rounds.
Title-Scenes of Wakefield, Photographed by F.W. Wilkinson.
There is a shot of a town centre with a large fountain, a shot taken from a narrow street looking up at the spire of a church and some other shots of the streets. The final shot is taken looking in a window of a bakery at two women rolling out pastry and then of a man putting tiers of a cake together.
