Christmas markets in West Yorkshire: Festive pictures from the first weekend of Christmas markets at Halifax's Piece Hall

The Grade I listed landmark is set to host the markets each weekend in the run up to Christmas.

Each event will see 50 stalls selling everything from jewellery and homeware to pet accessories, fruity cider and special gins.

Musical entertainment will be provided by around 60 different acts, performers and community music groups including brass bands, gospel and traditional choirs, morris dancers and stilt walkers.

There is also a Victorian carousel which will be joined this year by a vintage helter-skelter.

Friday, November 22 to Sunday, November 24
