The pub is woven into the area’s history, too. It stands on the site where the Chartists once met to create the People’s Charter, and its name, The Standard of Freedom, honours that legacy of community spirit and collective voice.
The Standard of Freedom is a cosy, characterful pub at the heart of Skircoat Green, Halifax: a place where locals gather, conversations flow easily, and every visitor is greeted with genuine warmth. With its slate floors, open fires, and comfortable seating, it has the feel of a true community pub, the kind people return to repeatedly.
This is a wet‑led pub with a compelling reputation for quality cask ales, proudly holding Cask Marque accreditation.
