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.

    Looked a lovely place if you enjoy socialising and the outdoor vibe of shops and food and drink entertainment. I felt bad for the shops though as they seemed unvisited. It was a Saturday afternoon, you would expect it to be the busiest time for shopping but none were frequented by even just one human. The building is quite impressive but what was super impressive were the doors!!! Worth popping to see the piece hall if you are around.

    Incredible historical venue of all sorts. Came all the way from the United States to see Halifax and The Piece Hall. Great acoustics and you could feel the bass - especially from the upper level balcony. Food was offered by local vendors and was reasonably priced and tasted good. I hope Rick makes this an annual occurrence!

    We went to see Korn here and it was really well organized, a great atmosphere and a phenomenal experience. It was easy to go and get drinks or have loo visits and get back to our space - well thought and planned out and great surroundings.

    Came here for a Quo concert - never been to Halifax before. Parking and diversions getting to the venue were a bit stressful but the venue itself was remarkable. Great acoustics, good sight lines - Quo filled it so atmosphere was excellent. Beverage distributors were easily accessible - didn't try the toilets. Busy getting out - be patient and watch your feet! Very unusual venue for a gig but worked really well - my wife tells me that she has been here for shopping too and that was excellent but I can't comment on that!

    Excellent open air venue. Well organised, safe, great stage view and good sound. Wheelchair accessible and well thought out bars and snack areas.
