A huge sing song from more than 1,000 Calderdale children!
This attempt to recreate history harks back to between 1831 and 1890, when thousands of local Sunday School children would meet in The Piece Hall over Whitsuntide for The Big Sing. It’s been recorded that up to 34,000 would pack the courtyard to celebrate song.
So on 25 May, children from over 20 Calderdale primary schools will recreate the tradition by performing together in The Piece Hall.
Come along and witness history being recreated as we celebrate the past, present and future of The Piece Hall and the local community!
