11-20 SEPTEMBER: Over its almost 250-year history, The Piece Hall has been home to the weird, the wonderful & the fantastical. Join us for guided tour with one of our knowledgeable heritage guides who will delve deeper into The Piece Hall’s captivating past.
As you explore its beautiful arcades and courtyard, you’ll uncover the stories of the people who built, traded and worked here, and learn how this extraordinary building has evolved from a centre of commerce into the vibrant cultural destination it is today.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a local resident or visiting for the first time, this free tour offers a fascinating journey through the heritage, architecture and enduring legacy of one of Yorkshire’s greatest treasures.
For little ones, we will also be holding crafting sessions on the courtyard. Our aim is to doodle a Halifax version of the Bayeux Tapestry using images from Halifax’s history!
