Streets in the Sky Tour

About this event

11am Friday 24th July. Tickets for this tour are available over-the-counter from the Discover Halifax Hub at the Woolshops Shopping Centre, Halifax. There are no online sales for this tour. Did you know that above Halifax Borough Market there are two ‘secret’ streets? Discover them with VisitCalderdale’s ‘Streets in the Sky’ guided tours! On these tours you’ll explore the unique architecture of the Grade II* listed Halifax Borough Market, learn about its history, visit both of the Market balcony ‘Streets in the Sky’, where the houses are still used by the businesses below and one is still lived in; and get an exclusive look inside one of the uninhabited houses. Afterwards you can do some shopping, grab a cuppa and enjoy some food at one of the locally-owned independent cafes and delis in the Market. Please Note: The tours are best suited for adult ages and aren’t really suited for children aged under 13. Any children aged under 16 must be under close supervision of their guardian/parent at all times. There are many steps are involved in gaining access to both of the Streets in the Sky and more steps inside the house we visit, making this tour unsuitable for wheelchair users, those with limited mobility or children’s prams or buggies. No dogs on this walk, please (although Assistance Dogs are welcome). Places on each tour are limited to 16 people.
