Over the coming weeks, The Piece Hall may look a little different as our historic courtyard is transformed once again into the spectacular open-air arena for TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall. While work is taking place, the South Gate entrance may be temporarily closed at times, so please use our other three entrances when visiting. Our shops, bars, cafés, restaurants and heritage spaces all remain open and trading as usual throughout the build period.
