HALIFAX BOROUGH MARKET
ABOUT THE VENUE
A new LSM adventure into a Victorian shopping centre!
This is going to have traders of all sorts, just like the ones you find at usual LSM events.
The market itself is open from 8am - 4.30pm, our event will be trading from 9am to 4pm.
Because this is in a Victorian market, there's obviously no admission charge. I won't be running a tearoom of my own, there are plenty of places in there for you to have a great choice of what to eat and drink. I'll get in touch with the cafe and the cake / coffee stall to see if they'd be up for doing some sort of offer for the day.
There's no coffee jousting nor an owl flight on this occasion.
Visiting Halifax Borough Market for the first time feels a bit like taking a step back in time. This award-winning market was first opened in 1896 and has been the beating heart of the town ever since. Its Victorian splendour can be seen throughout – on the ornate clock-tower, in the glass roof and on the intricate carvings. Décor and atmosphere combine to create a shopping experience that just cannot be matched.
As well as the market itself, Halifax has lots of shops, plenty of parking - check it all out on their website here https://new.calderdale.gov.uk/communities/calderdale-markets/market-halls/halifax
A two minute walk from the Piece Hall.
