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.

    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!

    Absolutely Incredible , classy venue . We found £1 parking on a Saturday a short walk away . Few good pubs and bars nearby . Security measures are strong which took some patience getting through, but so worth it once in , we felt very safe . 2 drinks was around £15 but is what it is . Plenty of staff milling about to help . The stage and sound production probably one of the best gigs I've been to . Pure class. Accessible toilets and your standing on a slope therefore everyone can see with a bit of cogoling! Lovely crowd . Don't sniff at paying a bit more for your tickets because it was absolutely worth every penny! And ovcourse grace jones blew the roof off!! We got to see this ICON In halifax . Absolutely will return. 11/10

    Fantastic venue creating a wonderful backdrop to the gig we went to. Good staffing. Only a couple of food outlets, but both were good. Views are good from the balcony. The gig it's self was excellent with Rick Astley on top form.

    Superb space and building, it's hard to imagine that such a place exists in UK, it looks like Italy. When the weather is good it's fantastic to stroll around, perusing the shops, bars, and cafes. There's not a huge number of shops but it's pretty varied and there's something that should interest kids and adults alike. There are lifts and plenty of toilets. There are many events held regularly here, the other nice thing is that there are plenty of car parks nearby, and the surrounding streets with borough market, and numerous arcades nearby make for an interesting day out. Highly recommended.

    A great place to visit. Car parking lots are surrounding the site with reasonable prices. Entering the hall, two aesthetically sophisticated doors come into your sight. Passing that, a spacious square will be embracing you with sunlight and breezes. On ground floors, you get various selections of places to eat and drink. However, some of the restaurants require booking in advance (such as Astronomer). We had amazing Chicken/chorizo sandwiches and soup of day at the Bakery. From first floor upwards, there are lots of stores covering jewellery, vintage shops, book stores handmade souvenirs etc. There are toilets at two corners but not a lot for women. It is also kid and dog friendly as well. Overall, we spent the whole afternoon there and it was really worth it.
