Get a Piece of festive fun with venue’s new line-up
A HUGE line-up of gigs will be happening at The Piece Hall in Halifax this Christmas.
There will be music concerts as well as cinema screenings and Christmas family fun.
The Buzzcocks have been announced as the headline act of a star-studded line-up of exciting gigs and events taking place at the Grade I-listed venue.
Other artists set to perform in the giant circus-style Spiegletent include The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club, Lottery Winners, The Landlubbers, Halifax Choral Society with the Black Dyke, and LoneLady - the latter supported New Order during their summer Piece Hall show.
Elsewhere, the venue will be bringing the festive spirit back by hosting its annual Christmas Eve Big Sing as well as a New Year’s Eve Comedy Club, a mini family rave with Boom Chikka Boom, and family cinema sessions showing Christmas classics like Elf, Polar Express and Frozen.
All of the Spiegletent performances and activities will take place within the magical setting of the venue’s 66,000 sq ft courtyard, complete with a spectacular 30ft Christmas tree and traditional carousel.
Nicky Chance-Thompson DL, The Piece Hall Trust’s chief executive, said: “We can’t wait to welcome visitors back to The Piece Hall for Christmas this year. The festive period is all about sharing experiences and enjoying time with loved ones, and we’ve worked hard to make sure that our line up this year offers people of all ages and interests the opportunity to do just that.
“With performances from artists like Graft and Graeme Park to the Buzzcocks and Craig Charles, as well as Christmas films for the kids and a traditional sing-along before the big day, we’ve got plenty in store to bring some cheer to this extra special season.
“The last year and a half has been incredibly difficult, so we can’t wait to put a smile on people’s faces and welcome our wonderful visitors back this winter.”
Tickets are available from the Piece Hall’s website.
