I've been to this place a few times while visiting Halifax and I like it more every time I go. There is a great selection of independent shops, from books to soaps. It has been fully renovated pretty recently and really looks amazing. It is such a historic place and you can tell.
If you enter the piece hall from the Westgate entrance be sure to look to the right hand side oh the gate. If you look closely you will see what appears to be a hand print etched into the stone. There are two hand prints but one has faded. Legend has it that a witch was lashed against this wall and her hand prints can still be seen today, I was told about this a few years ago and it still fascinates me whenever I think about it. Go take a look and see what you think.

This place really comes alive when it is host to a seasonal, festive or one off events. The last few events I've been to here have involved food and drink, I really think this venue lends itself to this sort of pop up type thing. Last Christmas time they had a massive tipi in the middle that housed a bar with lots of seating and even an open campfire, it certainly was a fantastic place to be and with great atmosphere.

If you plan to go here check on the website to see if there are any events happening during your stay.
