- The Copper Auditorium: A state-of-the-art 115-seat cinema that also doubles as studio space.
- A Café/Bar: A large space serving craft beers, wines and meals.

This central location places it adjacent to the Central Library and within a short walk of Halifax's extensive retail, leisure, hospitality and cultural amenities. The Piece Hall provides a vibrant setting of independent shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and events, while Halifax Minster and the wider town centre are also close by.
Key transport links are readily accessible, with Halifax Train Station just a 2-minute walk away and Halifax Bus Station approximately 5 minutes on foot.
