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.

    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.

    Lots of lovely little shops on all floors. Plenty of lifts so very accessible. Christmas Market was good too.

    Amazing concert venue! Loved the libertines, the only issue were the toilets! Only on one side only the venue so if you're watching the concert on the other its a right farce to fight your way through everyone and there is definitely not enough of the portaloos!!! Apart from that i loved every second!

    1st time we've ever been here, and we wasn't disappointed. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Plenty of nice quirky shops and eateries. Spent a good few hours walking around. Will definitely be going again.
