Calderdale welcomes Tour de Yorkshire trophies
Ahead of The Piece Hall hosting the start of stage four of the Tour de Yorkshire on Sunday May 6, both the men’s and women’s race trophies visited Calderdale as part of a regional tour.
Pupils used the trophies as part of art work and literacy based lessons before they were taken on a tour of the school so each child is able to see them.

"So the opportunity to bring the Tour de Yorkshire to a cycling mad school was a no brainer."
The trophies were then moved to the Welcome Centre at The Piece Hall, where visitors got to see the iconic ‘Y’ trophies.
It will be a great day for Halifax and the region to remember. The Trust and its tenants are busily preparing for the event and getting into the cycling spirit.
