Settle Victoria Hall Hits £50k In 'Save Our Roof' Appeal

Settle Victoria Hall Hits £50k In 'Save Our Roof' Appeal

20 April 2026

A community rallies to protect the world’s oldest music hall

It’s a major milestone for Settle’s cultural hub. After a weekend of high-energy benefit concerts—including a packed-out folk night—the appeal to fix the leaking roof at Victoria Hall has hit the £50,000 mark. Manager Ann Harding says the money is "essential," but warns that the campaign is only halfway there. To unlock a matching grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, they need another £50,000 by June. The message today is clear: the rally continues.
