Piece Hall

A very underused building which is a great shame and I think much more could and should be done here as it is a very usable space.
It’s a large courtyard surrounded by small shops though a lot of these now stand empty. I think it’s quite nice to wander round and the shops are interesting and different, the Funky Dragon is a cool little place with lots of alternative gifts and clothing packed into a small space.
The market stalls aren’t usually worth looking at they always seem quite boring and don’t have much of interest.
I’ve been to the open air gigs they do here and think it’s a great venue for that and the Pink Floyd tribute band always pulls the crowds in, my parents prefer this show being outdoors as they saw it recently at the Victoria theatre and they didn’t think it was quite as good in a theatre.

Old historic building used previously for large open markets with a wide range of shops in the building itself however no longer an outdoor market and lots of stores have closed. Still several coffee shops dotted around but feel it could be used much more often than it is.

this is a really different and unique place to visit the have events on sometimes are markets, they have specialists shops on the balconys which i think sometimes are over looked so its a really good place to get a unique birthday gift for somebody
