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.

    What a lovely day out! Everything about Piece Hall is stunningly beautiful, we were pleasantly surprised. There are cafes, bars, shops, museums, concerts, markets and much more. Everyone who works there was so helpful and friendly. The gelato and hot chocolate were delicious served at the pizza restaurant. Definitely will go again soon, I believe the Christmas markets are lovely.

    Went for Anastasia concert. This venue is uncovered except balcony so you need to make sure you well covered because you may be cold. I saw people with the blankets and I thought it was a good idea 😂. This place is just few minutes from the train station which makes it very accessible. There were lots of food and drinks places and the waits was not very long. The concert was great and accustic was good. Recommend this place but make sure you cover yourself well in case of rain.

    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.

    A concert.. Apollo Junction, Cast and Doves. Fabulous concert. Apollo Junction were very good. Cast were my standout. Doves sound odd without their normal lead singer, not helped by the mix that seemed to hide their vocals behind the music. The highlight being surrounded by my contempories dancing like it's 1995 ... Only slower. Not forgetting that the lead singer of Apollo Junction brushed past me while I wasn't looking, to stand next to me and sing on the steps. I didn't even take a picture it was that surreal.
