Overview

Dating from1779 , The Piece Hall is a Grade 1 listed gem of Georgian architecture , originally a cloth hall trading woollen woven fabric . During the summer months it’s an outdoor music venue. Been an amputee, I drove my auto vehicle to Halifax and parked easily with only a short push (over cobbles in places , not the best if like myself you have small front wheels on your chair) . Be warned Halifax is on the hilly side so if you’re driving you either need to park very close bye or get dropped off on the gradient level with the entrance . Once tickets have been checked your met by the helpers , who are all super bubbly and helpful , shown to are seats , we were told where the accessible toilets were and to ask if needed drinks from the bar , while we just chilled in probably the best seats in the house. I didn’t but if you needed the loo there was someone near bye to help if needed. I’ve seen countless bands over the years and never seen this …a lovely happy looking girl was dancing to the band whilst doing sign to a group at the front , must have been a great experience for them, hopefully a more regular sight. Halifax has good train bus and coach services , stations all been a few minutes away , also a Premier inn real close if you’re fancying more after the gig , or just don’t fancy the journey home. Echo and the Bunnymen brilliant as ever. Brilliantly atmospheric venue , two brilliants on one line, off course i enjoyed it … Ok the ramps up to merch stand and viewing platform maybe a little steep if you’re proud (stubbon) and hate been helped , the cobbles outside are challenging , Halifax could possibly be twinned with San Francisco . So what , great night .

Transport & Parking

Access

Toilets

Accessible toilets could be found easily, probably not the best in numbers or space required for larger wheelchairs. It is a 18th century grade 1 listed building, disabled access wouldn’t have been top of the architects priority.
