Halifax

This thriving market town won't pull the wool over your eyes!

Halifax is a charming market town that exudes inimitable character and historical vitality and is home to some of Yorkshire’s most famous landmarks. Highlights include the 900 year-old Minster; the magnificent Piece Hall which was the centre of the UK’s entire woollen trade; and displaying rare machines and artifacts including lathes and looms, the Industrial Museum is another must. The breath-taking Town Hall is Grade II listed and topped by a magnificent 180ft spire, with design and interiors by Charles Barry and statues by John Thomas. From its beautiful scenic walks and iconic buildings to the remarkable Halifax Borough Market and its huge range of independent traders offering the very traditional to new and undiscovered treats and goods, this diverse town has much to offer. Don’t miss Dean Clough, once the world’s largest carpet factory and now a vast and impressive home to various eateries, galleries and businesses.
