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.

    Sadly we chose to visit when the stage and stalls for the summer concerts had been erected. Which takes away from the ambiance of the historical nature of the hall. We will definitely go back though because the shops we visited were varied, friendly staff and dare I say it as a man... Smelt lovely!! It's a relaxing place and the parking we chose close by was only just over £5 for the day. Food was reasonably priced, which was good.

    Amazing venue, stunning views and audio works so well. I went to see the Sex Pistols and couldn't be more impressed with how refreshing this venue is. They have plenty of food vendors inside too so it you fancy a full pizza when watching the gig you can do. Don't hesitate to visit Piece Hall and enjoy some real life live music.

    It was a really inspiring and educational visit. I loved feeling the different types of wool. Especially the fine Shalloon!. The piece Hall is like something from a canal letting painting. It was sobering to see how little the artisans were paid compared to the merchants!!! Lovely food at the astronomer....fresh tasty chicken burger for under 8 quid!

    The venu was great generally with plenty of places to eat and drink. Not as many shops and galleries as expected. Disabled wheelchair access to upper floors not easy if user not assisted. Many shops excluded from access due to high door threshold lip. Simple chamfering would provide acess for all

    One of the best co cert venues I've ever been to. The sun was shining, the beer was flowing and the music was blasting. Incredible venue. Highly recommend it and will be back for more gigs for sure.
