Welcome to the Piece Hall

The Piece Hall is unique. A Grade 1 listed Georgian masterpiece, it’s been a Halifax landmark for over 230 years. Built to provide a spectacular marketplace for Halifax’s hugely successful trade in cloth, it’s now home to a host of shops, cafes and even an art gallery. Events of all kinds take place throughout the year, ranging from celebrations, children’s fun days, and concerts.

The Piece Hall Transformation Project

Calderdale Council is now taking steps to protect this extraordinary building for generations to come. A £16M restoration plan, which includes a major Heritage Lottery Fund bid, is being developed. This will not only preserve the past but will give the Piece Hall a fantastic future, making it one of Britain’s best known and best loved public spaces.
