Big tent events at the Piece Hall this Christmas
The magnificent 66,000 sq ft square surrounded by the grandeur of the Grade I listed Georgian former cloth hall will showcase live music, street entertainment and a variety of food and drink pop ups to complement regular tenants ‘Elder’, a modern British restaurant and ‘Gin Lane’ an independent bar specialising in gin, prosecco and coffee.
Leeds-based funk and soul outfit The Haggis Horns will be performing live at 10.30pm, bringing their distinctive northern funk sound to the courtyard and getting everyone dancing.
