Things to do in Brighouse

Halifax Piece Hall

The Halifax Piece Hall is a Grade I listed building in Halifax, less than 15 minutes away from Brighouse. It was built in 1779 as a cloth hall for handloom weavers to sell the woollen cloth “pieces” they had produced.

After a multi million pound restoration in 2017, the Piece Hall now hosts music concerts and a variety of small, independent shops from West Yorkshire.

    A charming destination that makes your day a delightful one... I have fascination for architectures that have historical significance. Piece Hall built in 1779 is a special one. Such a privilege that this masterpiece is just my next door...🤩

    Visually, the Piece Hall venue looks amazing, especially after dark. It's essentially a large courtyard surrounded by sandstone Georgian warehouses. Beautifully lit, it's open air, so sound quality will vary depending on conditions. AIR sounded pretty good and the gig looked stunning. All the staff were super-helpful and friendly. Halifax is a lovely town, btw, and everyone seemed friendly to talk to. If I had a quibble...I'm not convinced the balcony tickets we had were worth the extra cost. Yeah, you'd stay dry if it was raining, but the balcony is just a fairly narrow corridor overlooking the square and quite far back from the stage with no seating. If you go to the bar or toilet, chances are someone will have nicked your spot by the time you get back Also, £16 for a pint and a vodka and coke from plastic glasses is a bit of a liberty. Toilet provision is very limited for balcony users. There are 4 or 5 individual toilets that were unisex as far as I could tell, and there was a queue at the end. Apart from that, I think this is a great venue and lovely to visit during the day. Really nice shops and good food.

    I visited the Piece Hall on my way home from Leeds,and I wasn't disappointed it is a marvellous structure. It was a lovely place to wonder room and visit all the lovely shops and to have a meal in the sunshine. I would recommend this place if you are near by.

    Beautiful place, easy to find and close to car parks. The venue is full of a plethora of shops that are quirky and interesting in their own right. The place is accessible with lifts, toilets on every floor and a first aid room. Spread through is little pieces of its history which is also really interesting and cool to see.

    Despite the wind and rain we went to the Christmas markets. The shops were lovely and it was busy but it was well worth a visit. Some incredible independent shops and some local traders in the stalls in the square. Well worth a visit for the markets or any other time.
