Accessibility
The Piece Hall is built on a slope and is largely cobbled or paved with stone slabs, and therefore some difficulty may be experienced by wheelchair users. The Halifax Visitor Centre and Art Gallery is situated on the first floor. There is a lift on the ground floor of the Piece Hall, which should be taken to the first floor. On leaving the lift, turn right onto the balcony and the Visitor Centre is on the right. The first floor is also paved with stone slabs but once inside the Visitor Centre and Art Gallery the room is level.
