The Piece Hall is a Grade I-listed Georgian masterpiece in the heart of Halifax, West Yorkshire — the only surviving Georgian cloth hall in the world, opened in 1779. Its vast open courtyard has been transformed into a 5,500-capacity open-air concert arena, hosting the acclaimed 'Live at The Piece Hall' summer series, which broke the 100,000-ticket barrier for the first time. The unique acoustics and historic stone galleries make it one of the North of England's premier outdoor live-music destinations, drawing major touring artists across pop, rock, indie and folk. An award-winning cultural and heritage site that has welcomed over 10.5 million visitors since reopening in 2017.
