Whilst I have you here I just have to say the security at the Piece Hall is absolutely brilliant this year, from getting into the venue the security checks and procedures are quick and efficient, the security team are very polite with smiles and cannot do enough for you, they always ask how I am and how my day is going which really does go a long way,  making the whole experience that much better, walking around the Piece Hall they are always friendly and approachable and the customer service is second to none, the standard have really gone up this year, I just had to give a quick mention and give credit where credit is due, security staff don't always get the best feedback and people are always quick to spout the negatives so I had to give the whole front line security team massive nod this year, not to mention i feel really safe in the knowledge the team are are at the top of their game !
