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.

    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.

    This has to be my favourite music venue! Great staff, beautiful surroundings and amazing acoustics. It's almost a 2.5hr drive for us, but it'll always be worth it! Lots of reasonably priced parking nearby in the town centre too.

    First visit for a gig and it was a really pleasant experience. Acoustics were fantastic and I would highly recommend one of the balcony spaces. Beer prices are as you'd expect but not completely ridiculous, the service and lines were well managed and it was a nice evening.

    I didn't know what to expect going to a gig here but glad we did because it was really cool. Upgrading to balcony tickets was the best plan too! 2 food stalls, both with vegan options which we will know for next time. And what beautiful surroundings.

    Came to see Simple Minds play and was not disappointed. For me, this was the perfect venue for a concert; it had a very intimate feel to it and no matter where you stood, you had a great view of the stage. The multiple entry points, made entrance and exiting the venue very fast and queues were minimal. Equally, there were ample amenities and queues were minimal. Security were absolutely on the ball too; when I came out of the crowd for a toilet break, they recognised my mobility impairment and opened the gates to allow me easier access to the restrooms. Unfortunately, a fight broke out on exiting the venue and again, security were on the ball and detained the fighting duo with barriers and moved them from sight. All in all, the experience was incredible and I will be back to have a look round the shops and will definitely be buying more concert tickets.
