It then became a wholesale marker, before being transformed into a visitor attraction and, most recently, undergoing an extensive conservation programme.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>During your visit, we will take you on a journey spanning almost quarter of a millennium. You will meet characters from the past and hear fascinating stories about this truly incredible building.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To find out more about the event and booking, click the Eventbrite link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/tour-of-halifax-piece-hall-tickets-42707444115\">https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/tour-of-halifax-piece-hall-tickets-42707444115<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Booking password: IHBC2018<\/p>\n<p>PLEASE NOTE: as an advance payment needs to be made by IHBC for this tour, <strong>ticket sales close on\u00a0Thursday 22\u00a0February 2018<\/strong>.
