The 18th-century cloth hall is located in the heart of the town and houses an impressive array of shops, bars, and restaurants. There\u2019s also a heritage centre and an art gallery hosting visual art exhibitions. There\u2019s something for everyone to enjoy at Piece Hall, making it a popular day out for individuals, couples, and families alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shibden Hall<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shibden Hall is a Grade II listed house in Shibden, not far from Halifax. The 15th-century building has been modified over the years, although the Tudor half-timbered frontage continues to be its most recognisable feature. The famous diarist Anne Lister once lived in the house. Lister was dubbed as the \u201dfirst modern lesbian\u201d, with her story explored in the BBC drama series \u2018Gentleman Jack\u2019 written by Sally Wainwright. Shibden Hall is a great day out for all the family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shibden Park<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst visiting Shibden Hall, wh<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">y not have a stroll around the beautiful Shibden Park? The park is very scenic and has lots of kid-friendly activities. There\u2019s a boating lake where you can go for a trip on a rowing boat, a miniature train, a large kids&#8217; play area, and a coffee shop. The park is also dog-friendly, making it the ideal place to walk your furry friend. Shibden Park also hosts many craft fairs, workshops, and concerts throughout the summer months.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eureka! The National Children\u2019s Museum<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-632 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_1120-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"How to downsize\" width=\"558\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_1120-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_1120-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_1120-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_1120-1536x867.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/DSC_1120-2048x1155.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eureka! The National Children&#8217;s Museum is one of the top interactive children\u2019s museums in the country. With a focus on learning through play, it\u2019s a great educational day out for kids of all ages. There are as many as 400 exhibits to explore, in six different zones. Eureka! was established in 1992 and has gone on to become one of the best family-friendly attractions in Halifax. Popular exhibits include All About Me, which deals with the human body, and the Wonder Walk, which is a fun-packed sensory trail. There\u2019s also the Beach, which is a huge sandpit outside the museum, for kids to enjoy. A visit to Eureka! is undoubtedly one of the top things to do in Halifax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halifax Minster<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halifax Minster is well worth a visit whilst exploring the town. Once a parish church, it achieved minster status in 2009 in recognition of its importance to the area\u2019s civic and religious life. The church was constructed in the 15th century, although it was actually built much earlier on the site of a Norman church. Perhaps the most striking feature of Halifax Minster is its Gothic font cover, which was made to stop people stealing water from the font.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jungle Experience at Manor Heath Park<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-794 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Top-things-to-do-in-Halifax-1024x545.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in Halifax\" width=\"542\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Top-things-to-do-in-Halifax-1024x545.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Top-things-to-do-in-Halifax-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Top-things-to-do-in-Halifax-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/darvills.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Top-things-to-do-in-Halifax.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jungle Experience at Manor Heath Park is not to be missed. Here you\u2019ll find a tropical greenhouse containing an impressive range of plants from all across the world, including Orchids, Bird of Paradise, and Banana Plants. You\u2019ll walk across wooden walkways over streams where you can spot various fish and terrapin. The Time Zone takes you through 400 million years of history, with plants dating right back to the age of the dinosaurs. The Butterfly Zone has tropical butterflies that fly around freely as they source nectar from the flowers. The Jungle Experience is only \u00a31, which is a real bargain for this fun and educational family day out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calderdale Industrial Museum\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dedicated to the area\u2019s rich industrial heritage, the Calderdale Industrial Museum is a fantastic educational day out. Set within a 19th-century weaving mill, it contains several working machines that were built between 1850-1930 and all of which were either constructed or used in Halifax. You\u2019ll find \u2018Sadie\u2019 in the basement \u2013 a large oil engine that\u2019s responsible for powering many of the museum\u2019s drills, lathes, and planes. There are also a number of exhibits about the different industries within the Calderdale area, including coal mining, textiles, and quarrying. There are few better ways to learn about the region\u2019s industrial history than a visit to Calderdale Industrial Museum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving to Halifax?
