also contains a dry stone walling exhibition, children's play area and miniature steam railway. The hall has been used for filming the movie Peterloo, and the 2019 and 2022 BBC/HBO television series Gentleman Jack about its former owner Anne Lister. As a result of the television series, watched by almost six million people each week, the hall saw a trebling of visitors, leading Calderdale Council to plan an extension of the opening times. The oak-panelled music room contains a square piano, dated 1769, by John Pohlman, one of his oldest. The piano has never been restored, although the oak stand is not original.
