Based in a grade II listed former textile mill on the outskirts of Halifax town Centre the Artworks building is beautiful, spacious, full of history and bursting with creativity. It is also a ‘naturally cold’ working space for artists and creatives so they recommend wrapping up warm in practical clothing when visiting to take part in activities.
