THE PIECE HALL REVIEWS
A wonderful quirky place from yester years to visit. Very impressive place with a wonderful vibe and as ample space for everyone including wheelchair users. Wonderful small family run businesses selling everything from handmade to unique one off items such as jewellery, furniture, pictures/paintings,clothing or tea rooms. Sadly parking can be an issue but apart from this strongly recommend people visit this beautiful gem of a place.
Excellent venue. Well organised and superb sound. Good atmosphere and staff were friendly and very helpful. Had VIP tickets so were up in the balcony. Being open air it stated no umbrellas or chairs. No parking at the venue so look for car parks nearby such as Broad Street. Would definitely go back. Lovely time.
My best visit yet. Amazing Sophie Ryder sculptures, beautifully accommodated and accessible in this structure. Lots of choice of seating and plenty of space and interesting things to see.

SHIBDEN HALL REVIEWS
Amazing time at Shibden, lucky enough to have experienced the beautiful gardens and walks around the grounds before but not the house itself - so going inside was a real joy and the experts inside gave a fabulous insight into the real life of Anne Lister and the mark she left on this area. Would recommend highly to all ! We will defo go back.
What beautiful grounds and parkland with an amazing house overseeing it. The house is a working house with some interesting features. Anne Lister's alterations are interesting as is her history leading to some tiny spaces and steep steps. The house's history is told throughout with information points. The coach house and stables are filled with agricultural history and carriages. Cafe by the ornamental lake is popular and efficient. The stonewall garden near the house is really interesting as well.
Like many others I suspect, we visited on the back of viewing 'Gentleman Jack'. It's a fascinating and lovingly cared for building and we took our time in the rooms reading up on the history of the hall. Lovely grounds to walk in addition to the hall.

HALIFAX TOWN HALL REVIEWS
This is a stunning building. It’s absolutely marvelous. Haven’t been inside but looking at the photos it looks super duper. It is meant to be a very interesting tour. I took a couple of photos and left and then outside I found the gold post box which was painted gold to do with the Olympics.
We were told that the Town Hall was a beautiful building and it is true. We were given a very friendly welcome and loved seeing the stunning venue. People chatted to us about the rooms, and we enjoyed hearing about how the building has developed over the years.
My cousin and I were walking around Halifax and we just decided to step into the town hall and although there were no tours on we did get to see the main hall. It was beautiful and very interesting.
