Piece Hall beach: Photos as seaside fun comes to Halifax

Halifax residents are getting the chance to enjoy the seaside, without even leaving the town.

The Piece Hall has covered part of its courtyard with sand to create its very own beach.

Visitors can make sandcastles, have their photo taken at a peep-through display, have a ride on a carousel and enjoy a ice-cream.

Admission is free but booking is essential via The Piece Hall website.

The beach will be in place until August 1 and is part of a summer of events taking place at the historic venue.

There will also be roller skating, a mela, Yorkshire Day celebrations and more.
