At Crest IT Solutions, we’re proud to support Halifax’s bid to become the UK Town of Culture 2028, a town where heritage, creativity, and community come together.
Halifax is a town full of character. From the striking Piece Hall to its historic mills and charming streets, every corner tells a story. Its architectural landmarks and rich history make it a perfect candidate for national recognition.
The Piece Hall, in particular, is a standout example of Halifax’s cultural vibrancy. Once a centre for the textile trade, it has been transformed into a world-class venue, hosting live music and events that attract international artists and audiences from across the UK. These concerts highlight Halifax as a thriving cultural hub and demonstrate its ability to shine on a global stage.
But what really makes Halifax special is its people. Local artists, performers, and community groups bring imagination, energy, and pride to the town every day. Programs like CultureDale have already delivered over 900 events, engaged more than 200,000 participants, and contributed £50 million to the local economy. These achievements show the creativity and ambition of Halifax’s community.
Becoming the UK Town of Culture would be more than just a title, it would be a chance to celebrate Halifax’s history, nurture its creative talent, and boost the town as a destination for visitors and culture lovers alike.
Halifax has all the ingredients to be recognised nationally: a rich past, a vibrant arts scene, and a community that makes culture happen every day. At Crest IT, we’re excited to champion the town and show the UK why Halifax truly deserves to be called a town of culture.
