5). Whats happening in Piece Hall Halifax
Piece Hall in Halifax is another historic building in West Yorkshire.
It was used by wool traders many years ago, in more recent times it's had ups and down.
It was once a very busy general market place not so long ago but with the changes in retail and the once flood of Pound shops it struggled to keep going as a viable market place.
It's now reinvented itself again after a very expensive re-vamp of the area with the old traditional cobbled floor removed and replaced with a more smoother and easier to walk on flooring on a levelled out area rather then the slopping interior and bumpy cobbled floor.
After trying to find its purpose in an ever changing world, Now, its got a new lease of life.
From the many celebratory events that are planned throughout the year to a line up of well Know Big Name Musicians performing at special ticketed events in the Piece Hall Yard, to Bars and Restaurants open throughout the daytime and into the evenings along side the many Indie Traders with many different small independent shops selling Soaps & Scents to Harry Potter memorabilia to books and various niche items who are situated along the balconies that go around the edged of the Piece Hall.
Its a place not to be missed...
