The Piece Hall is unique. A Grade I listed Georgian masterpiece and the oldest remaining cloth hall in Britain.

Following a multi-million pound transformation project, Britain's magnificent and last surviving cloth hall is ready to welcome visitors again.

The Grade I listed structure has stood at the heart of Halifax since 1779 and has now re-opened as a world class cultural, heritage and leisure destination.

The huge open-air courtyard is surrounded by a mix of independent bars, restaurants, cafes, galleries and shops. The stories of Georgian Halifax are told in the specially created exhibition spaces, while the central courtyard plays host to a year-round events programme of music, dance, film and spectacle for up to 7,500 people at a time.

This winter, The Piece Hall will be transformed into a spectacular Christmas destination like no other.

From 22 November – 31 December, the courtyard will become home to a stunning Christmas tree, a thrilling fair-like Victorian carousel and our cosy courtyard Deluxe Bar, where you can enjoy warming drinks sheltered from the storm.

A Christmas Fair showcasing some of the region’s favourite independent craft stalls, artisan makers and pop-up food and drink traders will feature for a festive shopping weekend 29th November - 1st December, while the surrounding shops, cafes, bars and restaurants will be open throughout the season to pick up that special gift or stop for a bite to eat along the way.

The season continues with the magnificent circus-style Salon Perdu, showcasing a fantastic programme of family shows, live music and stand-up comedy. An array of creative Christmas workshops give you the chance to get crafty and learn a new skill, while outside brass bands and choirs bring the place to life with festive cheer. The season will come to a close with a festive finale on New Year’s Eve, when 2020 is seen in with an outdoor Courtyard Party for an evening to remember.
