Driffield, on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, had a population of around 13,500 at the 2021 census — a market town long known locally as the 'Capital of the Wolds'.
The Capital of the Wolds
Driffield sits near the centre of the Yorkshire Wolds and has been a farming and market town for centuries, earning the nickname 'Capital of the Wolds' for its role serving the surrounding agricultural area. The Driffield Navigation, a canal completed in the 18th century linking the town to the River Hull, helped it grow as a centre for grain trading, and Driffield's livestock and agricultural markets remain part of the town's identity today.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Driffield's market-town retail is geared toward everyday shopping rather than bulk confectionery — there's no dedicated shop locally for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly sweets.
Why Driffield shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is the simpler route, with no trip into Beverley or Hull required.
