Great place for the whole family. Excellent range of individual shops and restaurants, and on some days activities in the central courtyard. The fascinating history is well explained in the visitor centre's well-designed exhibition. We easily spent a few hours here.
The centrepiece of Halifax. Wheelchair accessible with a good variety of shops and other small businesses.
Amazing historic building. Great shops and bars. Well worth a visit. Very near train station.
Stunning 18th century structure, well worth a walk around to take in the atmosphere and stop in the interpretation areas to learn about its history and the town as whole
Saw this on the Antiques Roadshow and decided we wanted to see it. It's a bit smaller than I expected but still magnificent. The public realm works in the centre work really well and the water features are wonderful. Lots of nice shops etc and cafes. Can't wait to visit when it's nicer weather
Great gin shop, nice friendly lad working there. Give it a visit.
Lovely place now it has been rejuvenated. Pity still some shops empty. Bug loved it
Tour was more of a talk as we walked around the quadrangle. Interesting but pedestrian. Could do with 'beefing up' somehow. Although the information was certainly in depth. Worth a visit but a little lackluster.
Lots of art, boutique shops and a historic building for a good day out.
The Piece Hall was buzzing with cameras, music, laughter, action and familiar faces... it was so good to see it open again. I talked to a couple who were 88 years young who were so happy to see the children enjoying the steps cascading with water. They were characters who had met at school, they also appreciated the new flooring as it was easier for them to walk on. I am looking forward to seeing it lit up at night.
Halifax is a beautiful city but the Piece Hall is still unexpectedly breathtaking. Like a Northern St Mark's Square (Venice). We were there on a summer weekend and enjoyed live music and a great rarebit (fancy cheese toast )
Fantastic since they did it up, certainly a place to visit
Went to shop for gifts but the shops I wanted didn't open til 10 ok , but got things from shops that opened earlier a good morning
Amazing restoration of the whole area, not just the Piece Hall
Work is still in progress, but even since the re-opening the improvements are visible and felt.
The new balcony stores compared to the old ones are a vast improvement, though it's a shame many of the previous occupents haven't returned. Thankfully, there's Chocolate Box :)
Always liked this place and am impressed with the refurbishment. Shame the bandstand wasn't kept and still not as many traders as there used to be. Good to see chap selling model cars is still going strong. Better now you can get food in there though don't leave out the rest of the town with the impressive old mills etc.
Pretty but quite empty so far, will be brilliant when there is more to see. Shops are stunning with friendly staff
Fabulous site pretty amazing scale wise. Historic, interesting worth a visit
This is so different to the Piece Hall of a decade ago. It is now the jewel of Halifax and one of the wonders of the north
A fabulous place to visit. More shops coming all the time and always lots of events and stalls. Friendly and helpful staff on site and some great eating and drinking places. I am impressed.
Excellent place to visit. Close to the railway station, easy access. Contains a variety of quality shops, highly recommend Loafers vinyl and coffee shop where you can buy new and old vinyl whilst being treated to your favourite tea or coffee. The Piece Hall is a must visit destination and with Christmas coming up you won't be disappointed.
A wonderful place to visit. Shop, eat, drink and enjoy the surroundings of this magnificent building.
A unique and fabulous place. Please visit as it needs more customers. Great shops and bars/cafes
Visually, a great place but unfortunately a lot of empty units let it down.
Beautiful setting and a fab place to pick up gifts from independent stores
Didn't actually visit on this occasion but past experience is that it's very interesting.
Nonsense entry fee and overpriced beers shame coz nice place
Nice place to visit although we went a little late.
Excellent lunch at the Deli. Lots of delicious choices on the menu at a very good price. Didn't have time to stay but I am looking forward to going back for a good look around.
Lovely open space with superb artisan shops in an awesome location! Well worth a visit.
A revisit for me 1st visit for my husband
A good refurbish has been done not all the units are in use. A good buzz around the place
Really enjoyed an hot choc baileys in the tipi tent could do with more places to go as it was lovely and warm it brings in more customers,people we're walking in and smiling they obviously liked the idea too,loved the spogs n spice sweet shop too and gin lane xxxx
It's an amazing place to visit.
You can come alone, with friends or with family...this place will never disappoint you!
Great selection of shops. Out of the ordinary and a great place to visit
Love coming here. All the bars are lovely and a evening with a drink here doesn't get much better it's so peaceful, extremely well lit to provide a calming atmosphere and the waterfall created sounds lovely. Definitely one of my favourite places to be in Halifax and a must visit!
Had some nice shops. Although we went a bit later on in the day and most of the shops were closed. I'd make sure you get there earlier on.
Love the piece hall and can't wait to see what this summer has to offer
Beautiful restorative/conservation work. Nice to see so many small shops open and a choice of bars/restaurants and cafes. I would highly recommend Elder for food - especially the Welsh rarebit with haddock and the treacle tart!
Lovely place well done 5 stars when shops full would say 40% occupied but what is tgeir is well worth a peek entertaiment is good too just hope it is kept up and it will thrive lets hope calderdale council keeps tgeir nose out as much as possible
Newly refurbished. Lots of small independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants along with all kinds of entertainment. I think it's the only cloth hall left in Europe. It's now the centre piece of halifax.
Nice place to visit nice little cocktail bar at the bottom corner
I loved the piece hall.Such gorgeous indi shops.Fab
Beautifuly restored building as everything you need love walking through here looking around shops my boys love it
Unique no where country like it ,a jewell in Calderdales crown.Well worth a visit.
Super shops and all very well organised for current circumstances.
I am proud to say i liv in a town with such an historic building.
The Piece Hall is architecturally stunning.. All units need to be let. Shops do need open to fulfil its potential.. But it must be the right shops. A lot of the shops were quite expensive. Maybe a nice place for a unique gift I had the priveledge of watching the Enchanting Chandiler... An amazing evening Many more evening events please... Or fun filled family days.
Beautifully restored and lovely shops and eateries.
Beautiful place to see. Places to eat and to look around. It is easy walking distance from the main town centre. I popped into three or four shops on my brief visit and found the staff were friendly and relaxed.
Amazing peaceful place for all family , a lot of interesting shops . love this place !
Fantastic History, amazing vast building like a Italian Palazzo. Small artisan shops and cafes, worth a visit.
Just a lovely piece of history I still love to wander round. The friendly dragon shop is a must
The Piece Hall was excellent. It has a long and interesting history which is explained in detail in the welcome centre. Also a diverse range of shops and choice of food on offer.
Is a big and friendly place to explore. They have some shops, cafe and they do have some art lesson on the top build for everyone to join in. They do Christmas charity fare in the piece hall once a year to celebrate Christmas and do good things for the needy people.
Very impressed with the structural repairs to the original building. The work is of a very high standard. The new paving and water features are also done to a very high standard. A marvelous building to admire,and relax with a coffee,or a bit of retail therapy. Far too good for the people of Halifax!!
Lovely art, boutique shops and bar restaurants in a stunning sandstone square with child friendly water features
When I saw what great work had been done in the Piece Hall on my last visit I was overwhelmed by the improvement, a must visit if you are in West Yorkshire.
Nice modern twist on a lovely old building. Hope the shops can make a profit so it carries on been a pleasure to visit . Lots of different attractions been planed
The renovations are good particularly the internal paving. Nice eating section. Pity not more shops business
I m here with my family all the time. They ve always got events on, and the shops around the edges are great. Chow Down is especially good. Beautiful surroundings. What s not to love.
What a glorious, architectural delight. Even more so since it's renovation. Coffee shops, wine/gin bars, pubs, arts & crafts shops and seasonal attractions make it somewhere to spend a few hours in delight. I love wandering around looking through the windows or spending money on local products or with local vendors and just appreciating the beauty of the structure.
