HALIFAX is rich in creativity and the arts.  We supply an in-house information pack in support of any interest you might have. You might like to explore the following links before you arrive – there is so much to do and see.

Square Chapel – www.squarechapel.co.uk
An amazing and historic building built in 1772 and almost demolished in the 1970s, lovingly restored in the 1990s and now used as a theatre and arts centre with something new and very diverse on every day. (If you do visit have a look at the front which is paved with old gravestones – fascinating!)

Victoria Theatre – boasting an impressive main auditorium with a capacity of 1,512 fully-seated (and 1,860 part-standing), the theatre plays host to many high profile and international performers and artistes as well as serving and supporting a wide range of the local community events and activities – www.calderdale.gov.uk/victoria/index.jsp

The Playhouse – our oldest theatre still offering regular plays – http://www.halifaxplayhouse.org.uk/ 

Dean Clough Mills – a new venue in an old setting. Once the largest carpet factory in the world Dean Clough now houses art galleries, workshops, restaurants and is only a few minutes away from Ploughcroft Cottage – www.deanclough.com

The Viaduct Theatre is also located within Dean Clough and has been used for chamber music concerts, operatic performances, alternative rock gigs, television programmes, conferences and even gigantic installations – www.deanclough.com/arts/theatre.asp
