Yorkshire Gallery Reviews

Great day with all grandkiddies (on 2 separate occasions over Easter) They thoroughly enjoyed the Easter Trail

Great day out. Great gin place, lovely shops, cafes and entertainment

Fantastic restoration of a eighteenth century Georgian masterpiece. Grade 1 listed using neo-classical (Roman / Italian) design now houses shops and restaurants. We had lunch there and it was wonderful to step out into this large and I believe sole remaining, example of the woollen industry trading place. Along with the other old town centre buildings ( market hall, town hall etc) and the churches Halifax gives the visitor a great day out.

Loved this beautiful updated old trading hall. Perfect mix of history and modern shopping. Love all the independent shops, providing a quirky alternative to the high street. We spent an afternoon here and went in almost every shop. Would reccomend checking out the chocolate shop, the Yorkshire soap company and allow plenty of time for the antiques shop. This would be a great place to do Christmas shopping, or come for a gift for someone special.

Great place and Halifax town centre was a great too.

Stunning historic building beautifully restored now housing a range of shops and eateries

What a lovely place to have a wonder around. We had a lovely meal followed by coffee and cake at Loaders cafe and record shop.

Really nice mix of small businesses in a pleasant atmosphere.

Very impressive renovation. Enjoyed walking around the different levels with some retail shops to add interest. Nearest place we found to park was at Eureka

My children and I love it here, good variety of shops. The ice-cream shop is amazing!

Interesting shopping with dedicated artisans making good things...lots of curios and decent coffee.

We've been coming to the piece all on and off for years and it's always been a bit underwhelming, it always felt like it could have more variety and be more of a venue than it actually was.

This was the first visit to look round of ye shops after a few years and they had done all the refurbishments and I can happily say it's finally met it's potential, some lovely independent shops and businesses in a great setting. You can kill a few hours there easily.

Looking forward to seeing Zara n attending the free event very soon.

Lovely shops and reasonably priced. Great festive day out shopping

Since the refurbishment The Piece Hall has improved significantly. Lot's of decent independent shops offering a wide variety of items.

Such a cool place with lots of cute little shops with all kind of cool stuff. As it is all under cover, it is a great place to stroll around in bad weather. There are also elevators available so there is no problem to get to higher floors with a pram or a wheelchair. When you get tired, just pop in one of cozy little cafes in the building. It is absolutely worth visiting!

Lovely surroundings. Great for the event I attended.

An amazing experience with great exhibitions and easy access to everyone. The replica of the beyeux tapestry was great and there were plaques explaining everything. There was even history of the area. It was a great fun day out. And I would defiantly recommend it to a friend.

Good to see a nice selection of shops and bars that all seem to be thriving and vibrant - definitely worth a visit...

Very nice place to visit, some unusual shops. The little museum that tells the story of the Piece Hall was very good.

Really a fabulous restoration done on this great 250 year old building and it did the BBC antiques road show proud with a fantastic turn out by the local folk and a hot sunny day, what else could you want!!!

This beautifully restored 18th century cloth market is well worth a visit. Lots of cafes, galleries and small independent shops surround the impressive square. It's a five minute walk from the rail station.

Great place for food, drink & socialising. Some lovely boutique shops.

Gin lane good liquid refreshments just pricy but worth it

Good place to meet people outside. Nice cafe culture, plus gin lane which serves a very good selection of gins. The shops are varied and sell a wide selection of things, good for Xmas presents. Overall an excellent place to visit

Visited on a Saturday...would have thought on its first weekend open they might have put on a craft market or food market in the square, to attract visitors...the majority of units were empty, only a very small number of shops actually trading...definitely not enough bars and cafes to choose from...absolutely no atmosphere...very disappointing...hope the powers that be step up, or this is going to be a dismal failure.

Much improved after the refurb. Not as many retail units. Loadsa bars, cafes and eateries. Courtyard is attractive. New entrance draws you in. Collonade level seems a little cut off from the rest of the place. So if you do visit, go round all the levels, you'll discover some neat shops.

Beautifully restored and full of wonderful independent shops, restaurants and bars.

Most of my time come to have some drinks or coffees on here it's because lovely and beautiful relaxing place..

Not enough cafes or restaurant facilities
Only a handful of shops open.

Interesting place, good restaurant on the ground level.

It's looking good now...good to take a short break from shopping just sit at steps and relax

A stunning place not to be missed whilst in Halifax.

Wow, what can I say. Christmas market was on in the centre. Lots of small shops on two levels. Alot of history surrounds the Piece Hall. Carousel and a Brass band playing in the square. First time visit will be back next year.

Well worth a day out, easy parking at the Eureka car park across the road, and in the centre of Halifax

Glorious space. Calm atmosphere and a real sense of it's history. Can't wait to return.

It's a great place to visit, shops are a bit dull & expensive but it's such a stunning place to window shop and have a coffee

If you're looking for an unusual or quirky present for someone, this is probably the best place to go. There are a few hundred independent small shops located over two floors selling a large variety of items you probably won't find anywhere else.

The building is set around a large courtyard, designed like an Italian piazza, with different activities taking place throughout the year. It has recently been redeveloped and opened again to the public, with a few new additions to the original building, but still in keeping with the design.

Fantastic building, lovely little shops and bars, lot's of space for children to run around.

Visited on Saturday for a beautiful day out festival, lovely venue, terrorvision and the levellers were fantastic

Lovely regeneration gin bar and restaurant coming soon

Really beautiful place and it is so nice to see it renovated. There are lots of nice artisan shops, a great soap shop, gift places etc and I hope lots more businesses come too as the place is huge. I am in a wheelchair so appreciate they have put in lifts so I can access all floors. However, getting into some of the shops is impossible as either there is a step up or the shop displays are placed with out sufficient width for my chair. So a little fustraiting to see interesting things through the window that I will never be able to buy! It's obviously a listed building so I am unsure what can be done if anything to improve access, but just be aware!

An excellent place to visit.....A must do when in halifax

Love this place . It's great for a family outing . Needs more food joints

No other town or city in the north has anything comparable to the Piece Hall. Integrating it with the new Library, Square Chapel and Industrial Museum was inspired and really well done. All involved in the design, planning and opening should be very proud. Halifax and Calderdale's jewel in the crown for years to come.

A renovated masterpiece with the stark Northern look so perfect to the turn of Halifax. Shop variety is good but they are all small businesses so don't expect better known brands. A lovely visual experience with an amazing water feature!

Amazing restoration of a spectacular building. Well worth viewing.

Nice large space with a good variety of shops. Ideal when the sun is out but could be a bit more for people with younger kids

Went during the day on a Monday. A lot of the shops where closed. The food places didn't offer much either. It may be better coming back at an evening when or when more is open to fully experience it.

Fab now redeveloped. ..watched concert there....grest acoustics .....will defo go back.

The renovation is fantastic the building and grounds look fantastic. Just hoped to have more stores open.

We love visiting the piece hall. It's been a well thought out refurbishment. It needs more incentive to bring other shops, cafes or galleries in to make the space work better , it's in danger of just becoming a cut through again.

Lovely little shops but couldn't find the public toilets.

Simply stunning. Squint your eyes and you could be in Paris.

I found it quite boring and a waste of space, to be honest

Fascinating place which is so full of history and has been very well restored. Interesting shops and

Lovely for shopping for gifts. Shops are undercover of walkway so great when rainy. Needs a few more shops though as a lot of empty units.

Boring and expensive not a place to visit in the winter the water fountains down the stairs are nice to sit by or kids to play in in the summer

Cool square. Loads of independent shops and a couple of bars. Nice to sit on a hot day

I loved this place. Amazing history. It was very nice to understand and see the yester years and how Halifax came into existence. The museum is really nice. I especially liked the small shops in the periphery and the excellent outdoor sitting that some of the restaurants offered. Must visit if you are in Halifax. It's quite close to the station.

Lovely asset for the town. Bound to get better as the units get occupied.

Enjoyed the beautiful day out music festival. Great venue sound quality was decent, food was ok and security was helpful

An interesting place lots to see shops have a variety of goods for sale

Amazing place after redecorate. Everyone finds something interesting

A good job done. The ground floor looked bigger now! Really hope it's all a great success, and folk will attend the future venues. Also hope that that the shop rents are reasonable, I would hate to see the piece hall die a death after all the work and money that has been put into the project.

A fantastic piece of history, so good to see it's reopened. Worth a visit for the architecture alone, but also contains a number of eating places and interesting shops.

Already a great place to visit, will be even better when more shops, restaurants etc are established.

Beautiful grade listed building. Excellent opportunity if you like to experience some history and see a magnificent building from years gone. Place is popular with tourists and also has coffee shops and even a barbers.
