Halifax

Halifax, Calderdale's largest town, has a sense of harmony - you can easily stroll around the town centre admiring the marvellous architecture whilst enjoying views of our open moorland.

The colonnaded Grade I listed Georgian Piece Hall houses Halifax Visitor Centre and Art Gallery and over 30 shops and cafes. Stroll from here through splendid Victorian townscapes dominated by our Grade II* listed Town Hall, the work of Charles Barry, designer of the Houses of Parliament.

Halifax is known for its arts and culture, Dean Clough, Square Chapel and the Victoria Theatre are all within a 10 minute walk of the main centre. For family fun, children can learn whilst they play at EUREKA! The National Children's Museum. Nearby are mediaeval Shibden Hall and Victorian Bankfield Museum, combining a passion for past times with great family events and a series of changing exhibitions.

Discover quiet corners; Wainhouse Tower is open to the public on bank holidays and Halifax Minster is one of the finest buildings in Yorkshire, with a noted choral and organ tradition. Enjoy shopping, whatever the weather, in Westgate Arcade or delight in Harveys, one of the oldest independent department stores. This is a town that combines the old with the new - discover it for yourself.
