This is now an amazing place to visit. Gone are the tatty old shops and the anachronistic cobbles installed in the 1970s... in their place are an ever-increasing range of interesting shops, galleries and places to eat and drink around one of the most magnificent town squares in the country. Next door is the Square Chapel Arts Centre, the new library and Industrial Museum and very close is the Eureka children's museum. A good day out.
Spent an enjoyable morning looking round the refurbished Piece Hall. There's a small selection of gift shops, coffee shops and exhibitions. Special mention to Loafers Vinyl and Coffee. Currently there are many empty units but hopefully More
It's been 5yrs since we last saw piece hall and we are not impressed with the setup far to modern has taken away the character of the place.
Got here on a sunny day and it is very striking. Had lunch in the Elder overlooking the courtyard. Excellent artisan British charcuterie and cheeseboard and good house wine and attentive staff.
Such a beautiful place, too bad that it takes forever to reopen it because the site is still under constructions
Great quirky place it's a must see if visit Halifax especially the old traditional sweet shop
Great place to explore with lots of history attached if you dig deep.
Love this place as a kid was here enjoying the stalls and shops always visit here...
Wonderful Italianate square in Halifax in West Yorkshire - a tremendous refurbishment with interesting shops on all four sides on all three levels. There is a specialty soap shop, gin shop, and an Indian bric-a-brac shop. There are cafes on the ground level and not a fast food place in sight.
Fabulous place if your anywhere near Halifax don't miss it
Gorgeous building full of lovely independent little shops!
It is has gotten better since having its renovation
The shops there now, and the amazing building itself, rate 4 stars. Once more of the units are occupied, it could be a 5 star place to visit.
I think this project is going to be a great success providing it is managed correctly
Far too few places occupied, I hope rents haven't been set too high to attract local artisans, could be a wonderful shopping experience.
great place to go for shopping and dining a bit over priced
Nice place for a walk round the shops. Or meeting a friend.
Beautifully restored historic site, currently quiet place for an evening drink
A piece of history that has been modernised without losing its original features. Some interesting shops and a great place to watch the world go by
After being renovated, the place looks amazing. The lack of new shops however is a bit of a let down as you can walk around and see only a handful. I expect once more shops are setup here then it will be far more busy. That said, the fact that all of these businesses are locally owned and independent really keeps with the ideals of the Peace Hall.
Great place to chill & have some lunch with people.
Many shops still closed. Went on a warm, sunny day. Good atmosphere. Will be better when a few more shops move in.
beautiful building needs music or performance as a bit soulless
Wonderful historic building with a great mix of original and unique shops and retail
Wow lors of history with this place as a very young child I remember my mother taking me when it was a fish market. Look st it now lovely individual shops which are unique, not to be missed
The piece has now been renovated and looks fabulous
Went today middle of piece hall was fenced off with 4 or 5 fast food vans in mile n two ice cream vans. So we decided to walk in try some food to be stopped and told if we wanted to go in fenced area to buy a ice cream we would have to pay 3 pound each .I turned round and left .it's terrible the piece hall now hate the new look interior and how much it cost.had a silly reply from piece hall saying 3 pound each to walk in to a compound to get two ice creams for children is fare!.there were a few eating places but to have to pay to go in to pay again is a rip off big time .c.mon normal people can't afford these charges .don't turn this place in to a place were people with families can't afford to get in to.yes have the chow down but take away entrance charges it's a con.
Nice selection of cafe, bars and shops. Great finds in the antique shop on the 2nd floor.
Stunning must see. Halifax at its historic and modern best in one unique setting. Also they have gin.
Amazing place, friendly staff and tenants, definitely worth a visit
Lovely clean and inviting... Shame more shops don't invest.
They've done a fabulous renovation job here. It looks beautiful and there is an amazing view from the library.
I thought there were going to b more shops open. I was very disappionted when i got there. But i did really like the colour of the paving-flooring/water features ect. Also was expecting to see some bars there too.
Has several quant shops, public toilets and is regularly used as a live music venue as well as other shows. After being closed down for many years for renovations it has been improved so much!
Lovely clean beautiful building full of exciting little shops.great day out..
Lovely place witha great selection of stores and a brill atmosphere. The ice cream was a massive highlight :-)
Lovely place to visit great story that goes with it
it' nice but a bit bright,clean and spick & span.I hope it weathers in & ages a bit.
Looking great since the refurb.plenty unusual and different .new shops
Love bringing my grandson here. He loves going in the water and going to the Ice cream parlour
Much better place to be since the refurb. Some nice little shops, cafe's and drinking establishments. It is good the space is now being used to today a variety of events
Beautifully renovated public space, with interesting shops around the edge. Plenty of places to eat and drink
Nice grade listed building here in Halifax West Yorkshire dating back to the 1700's. With plenty to do, lots of different shops and stores to peruse. Even artistic exhibitions on display! Small fountains for the kids to paddle in the summer and plenty of seating areas.
Very smart and many interesting shops. With live music, as today, it really makes it live. I only dropped it one star because less than half the premises are open; it will be better with more shops cafes and restaurants.
Lovely day out. Boutique shops and plenty of places to eat. Shame parking is restricted to 2 hrs.
The refurbishment work looks amazing! A lovely venue with already quite a few shops open and more to come before Christmas. The open spaces in the centre are designed with areas to sit, and spaces for events etc.
Take a look at what 19million quid can buy! There was nothing wrong with the Piece Hall before that a good scrub wouldn't have achieved !
Amazing Place full of individual specialist shops and Bar/ Eateries well worth a visit.
Parking very nearby plus many other high street names. Halifax a Great Destination
Lovely place good selection of retail outlets..best enjoyed in nice weather
Lovely place, early days yet as only a few shops open.
Clean , vibrant and lots to look at and do very sophisticated
A wonderful piece of history - a good variety of different shops all deserve to do well. A great destination for a morning or afternoon visit.
An Historic place, with a varied history and many interesting shops to wander around.
Lots of activities, Gin Bar, coffee shop, Bistro, hand made chocolate, sweet shop, gift shops, Antique, vintage, cabinets emporium with lots of super gifts for all
They really have done the place up nice. It's lovely thanks to the open air piazza design
