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.

    Two gigs Simple Minds & Faithless. SM was in the lounge and Faithless on the balcony. The sound on the balcony section with the lounge, is at an angle that completely wipes out anything like reasonable sound. Don't go lounge if you wish for coherent sound from your band. Faithless was completely different. The balcony is directly opposite the stage and the sound was actually very good. Staff at the gig were very good bar the odd 'I don't want to be here' which you get everywhere. Elsewhere they were friendly and pleased to help you. 3 stars for the sound let down at SM, it really wasn't worth being there. However, balcony or downstairs, all fine. Traffic sport links, very, very easy - train station 200 yards away or very easy to park a d very easy to get away too. I am sure I'll be back.

    Interesting place with independent cafés and shops. Good visitor centre too that tells you the history of the Piece Hall. The jewel in Halifax's crown!

    First time,visiting. And you can see why it's used for a variety of reasons. From concerts to Christmas fairs. Great selection of shops and artisan pizzas and other things. Well worth a visit

    A great visit for the Christmas market. Parking close by, only a few minutes walk away. The market itself was great , but was also great visiting all the shops of The Piece Hall. We enjoyed some food and drinks in the cafes, restaurants and bars too. Some of the shops were busy but could still see everything, just needed a bit of patience.

    Pretty impressive when you consider the age and history, the rejuvenation of the site has certainly made it a fascinating place to visit. Lots of small independent shops and places to eat, definitely worth visiting The other shopping areas of Halifax are only a few minutes walk away.
