The Settle Victoria Hall Beer Festival returns from Thursday, 6th August to Saturday, 8th August 2026, offering three days of real ales, ciders, and live entertainment in the heart of North Yorkshire.
Hosted at Settle Victoria Hall, the world’s oldest surviving music hall, the free-to-enter event welcomes local residents, visitors, families, and dog owners.
Founded by Tanya and Mark Wildsmith, the festival uses pint sales to support two Yorkshire causes: maintaining Settle Victoria Hall’s arts and community programming, and funding respite holidays for disadvantaged children through The Principle Trust Children’s Charity.
This year’s event features Rathbones as headline sponsor and Walker Foster Solicitors as programme and barrel sponsor.
Kerry Magson, Partnerships and Engagement Manager at The Principle Trust Children’s Charity, said: “Whether you’re a seasoned real ale enthusiast or simply looking for a fantastic summer day out with friends and family, the Settle Victoria Hall Beer Festival offers something for everyone while helping two deserving Yorkshire charities continue their invaluable work.”
Pat Doig, representing main event sponsor Rathbones, added: “We are delighted to be headline sponsor of the Settle Beer Festival and to continue with our support for The Principle Trust. The festival serves as a highlight in the area over the Summer with all proceeds going towards charities that do great local work.”
The festival runs across the following opening times:
- Thursday, 6 August: 4:00pm – 10:00pm
- Friday, 7 August: 12:00pm – 10:00pm
- Saturday, 8 August: 12:00pm – 8:00pm
