OUR HISTORY
Settle Victoria Hall was opened on 11 October 1853, and has been open and at the heart of Settle’s social and cultural life ever since. At 170 years old, it predates the Settle-Carlisle railway by thirteen years, Wiltons' Music Hall in London by five years, and is the oldest surviving Music Hall in the world.
The story of Settle Victoria Hall is the story of Settle, its cultural life and its community over the last 170 years. It’s also the story of all the incredible people who have put so much into this extraordinarily special place, and continue to do so to this day. Have a read through our story below, and discover what makes this place so special.
