Our restaurant, the Trading Rooms, will also be serving a special Mother’s Day set menu and celebratory cocktails, so it’s still a lovely opportunity to come along, support local businesses and enjoy The Piece Hall.
We’d love to see you and appreciate your continued support for our independent traders.
To celebrate Mother’s Day, The Courtyard is welcoming back Real Markets, celebrating the very best Yorkshire makers and producers.
Browse a vibrant mix of stalls from local traders offering beautifully hand-crafted gifts, artisan products, and a tempting selection of locally sourced food and drink.
Whether you’re searching for a thoughtful present, or unique treat for your mum, or simply want to soak up the atmosphere, these markets are the perfect way to spend the weekend.

Mesmerine 111
2026-04-17 11:00 - 2026-04-26 16:00 (Europe/London) | The Piece Hall Gallery, The Piece Hall, Halifax, HX1 1RE
Illustrious Company presents…
Mesmerine 111
Friday 17 April – Sunday 26 April
11am – 4pm, The Gallery at The Piece Hall
Free entry
Step into an immersive audiovisual experience designed to slow you down, focus your mind and transport you somewhere else.
Mesmerine 111 is a 50-minute 3D sound and visual installation inspired by the frequency 111Hz – believed to encourage a deeply relaxed, almost trance-like state. Blending sound, storytelling and digital art, this is an exhibition to sit with, tune into and experience fully.
The accompanying 3D visual responds directly to the audio, featuring a digital sculptural form that shifts and pulses in time with the sound – bringing emotion and meaning into a physical, visual space.
This is not a traditional exhibition to walk around, but an experience to pause for – inviting you to sit, listen and disconnect from the outside world.
Take time out. Tune in. Zone out.
Also on display – a chance to seeTo Be Invisible (2020). A powerful 10-minute work by composer Martyn Ware, with visuals by Zachary Eastwood-Bloom and narration by Curtis Mayfield III (the son of the legendary soul singer). Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, the piece reinterprets Curtis Mayfield’s 1974 track, layering spoken word with atmospheric city sounds and voices of protest.
