Consider exploring venues near the historic town centre, accessible by public transport.

We've curated a selection to give you a flavour of the week ahead, and there’s plenty more to explore. Your best bet is to browse the listings and find something that suits. Be aware that parking in the town centre can be inadequate, and Brighouse Road experiences congestion during peak hours, so planning your journey in advance is advisable. Consider utilising the park-and-ride options if travelling by car.

Check the listings below for times and venues. Remember to factor in potential congestion on the Halifax Greenway if you plan to cycle or walk.
