We fancy seeing The War on Drugs at Piece Hall in Halifax in June but it looks outdoor? Anybody been there?

Resurrecting this, as I have a concert there in June and would like a few drinks.

Has anyone been there and caught trains after the concert to Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield or Manchester?
The timetables for June haven't been published yet, but I see 3 trains to Leeds, leaving Halifax after 23:00 currently on a Saturday night.
The local hotels are now over £200 for a night in the town centre (Premier Inn/Travelodge) so not great value smile
I'm assuming they probably won't go down in cost nearer to the event.

If the train is likely to be unviable I'll probably just suck it up and pay for a hotel.

(un)fortunately tickets were a Christmas present, so unable to book hotel when buying the tickets.

As an aside, as someone who grew up near there in the 70's/80's, it's great to see it being used a music venue. The council nearly demolished it!
