Halifax's First Live Escape Room games at Berwick Street Mills and The Piece Hall. Can you and your team crack the codes, solve the puzzles and reveal hidden secrets in order to make your escape from the themed room within 60 minutes?

5 of us played the Operation Moonshine room and had a brilliant time! The puzzles were innovative and original, as well as very clever, and Mark was very welcoming and a great game master. Would definitely recommend, amazing quality room!

First visit to Halifax as a tourist and the day centred around the Piece Hall. What a wonderful day out and very much recommended to all. Impressive architecture, full of history. Made to feel very welcome by the good people of Halifax with plenty to see and do. We joined a free tour of the Piece Hall and our guide Pamela did a truly superb job of bringing the history to life and showing us around. The work that has been done to restore the Piece Hall is world class. There's great independant shops to visit and several very pleasant places to eat and drink including Gin Lane where we enjoyed a special Espresso Martini and Elder that provided a superb lunch which included catering perfectly for my gluten free dietry needs. Hope to visit again soon!

Such a wonderful place. Large well kept and interesting grounds (ancient orchard too) that you could easily spend hours in and then you have the hall and informative lovely folk museum. An extensive and educational interior especially regarding Anne Lister. A big thank you too to the very friendly volunteers who do an exceptional job! Well worth a visit.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 53 reviews
An authentic and unique microbrewery in Hipperholme, serving 8 distinctive ales at any one time. Spotlessly clean and thoughtfully run, Cock o' the North provides an ambience second to none, the subdued lighting and measured sound system compliments the well appointed beer. Some 180 different beers rotate along 8 hand pumps on the polished granite bar. Attention to detail belies the ordinary exterior, therefore a wide variety of quality spirits, lagers and ciders are served. Keep up to date with all of Cock o' events through the group on Facebook. Search 'Cock o' the North' to become a member. Welcome, we hope to see you soon.

Don't panic if the car park above Shibden is full. Down by the lake is a much larger car park which serves the Country park and it's a stroll up to the house from there.The turning into it is signposted Shibden Park. At the house itself there is also a small car parking area for blue badge holders. There are drinks and snacks available at the reception area but a proper cafe with hot and cold food, cakes, ice creams etc at the far end of the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Dogs are welcome in all areas except inside the house and cafe and the children's play area, and ours thoroughly enjoyed exploring the park and woods Boats available for hire on the lakeland a miniature railway runs at peak times.
