Explore the Piece Hall at your leisure as grand re-opening returns Halifax landmark to the people
From around 9.30am on Tuesday, August 1 - the day chosen to re-open one of the white rose county’s greatest buildings because it is Yorkshire Day - townspeople and visitors from far and wide will be able to browse the new shops and outlets for pop-up traders, sample some tasty food and drink, check out the new galleries and take a heritage tour to discover the Grade I listed Piece Hall’s fascinating past.
At 10am, the Georgian building, which has been extensively strengthened and developed amid a £19 million scheme while retaining all its dazzling beauty, will see the colonnade units open for business again after the restored trading bell is symbolically rung.
