Ticketing and practical information
Continuing the venue’s guidance, tickets for events at Settle Victoria Hall may be bought online, in person at the box office, or by phone on 01729 825718.

Outside those hours, the online listings remain available for browsing but purchases must wait until the box office reopens or be completed through the website’s checkout. Visitors are advised to confirm accessibility arrangements and arrival rules before travelling.

Folk and acoustic evenings
Folk evenings pair singer-songwriters and full bands that foreground storytelling and instrumental skill. Performances range from solo guitar-and-voice sets to ensembles using fiddle and pipes. The focus is on intimate arrangements where the acoustic sound and lyrical narratives drive the experience.
I’ve seen too many startups fail to turn hype into a repeatable business. The same applies to venues: a one-off star booking does not guarantee a sustainable audience. Programming that balances established names with emerging talent builds loyalty and steady footfall over time.
For listeners who value lyrical depth and musicianship, these shows offer close-up experiences and clear sound. The seasonal line-up is updated on the venue’s official channels ahead of each run, allowing audiences to plan visits and book early.
Theatre, dance and family shows
The venue stages a mix of classic and contemporary theatre alongside dance and family musicals. School-age projects and junior adaptations give local children the chance to perform. Families can attend professionally staged, accessible productions aimed at younger audiences. The seasonal line-up is updated on the venue’s official channels ahead of each run, allowing audiences to plan visits and book early.
Selected events to note
Recent seasons demonstrated a broad programming strategy. The hall has hosted touring classical productions captured live from leading houses and grassroots folk nights. Presentations have included acclaimed duos and bands, cello ensembles, cinematic broadcasts of major ballet and opera, tribute acts and documentary screenings. This mix reinforces the venue’s role as a regional cultural hub.
Programming balances artistic ambition with community access. Anyone who has launched a cultural programme knows that reaching diverse audiences requires both marquee events and low‑barrier nights for local talent. Growth data tells a different story: varied bills tend to sustain ticket sales across age groups. Lessons from recent runs show that pairing high-profile broadcasts with family-friendly matinees increases weekday attendance while supporting local participation.
Selection criteria stressed artistic quality and audience reach. Organisers prioritise touring works that complement local ensembles and events that invite repeat visits. The result is a calendar designed to serve both dedicated patrons of classical art forms and families seeking approachable live entertainment.
Classical and cinematic relays
Cinema relays bring international ballet and opera productions to local venues. They present full-scale performances on screen with live orchestra and lead artists preserved through high-quality broadcast. For many patrons this format offers access to major performing arts without the need to travel to a metropolitan theatre.
These relays maintain the immediacy of live performance by using multiple camera angles and real-time sound mixing. Programming choices usually mirror seasons at flagship houses and festivals, so audiences see the same repertoires featured in city centres. Anyone who has coordinated touring events knows that relays extend reach while reducing logistic friction for both companies and venues.
Planning your visit and accessibility
Check the venue’s online event listing to confirm dates, start times and any age guidance before you book. The box office can advise on seating plans and accessibility: call if you need hearing assistance, step-free access or companion seating. For online bookings, expect a small booking surcharge and ensure contact details are accurate to receive e-tickets and pre-event updates.
Ticketing windows and late-admission policies differ between venues. Arrive early to collect printed tickets or to use the venue’s dedicated e-ticket entry lanes. If you require specific support, request it when you buy tickets; venues typically need advance notice to arrange services.
Community and learning opportunities
If you require specific support, request it when you buy tickets; venues typically need advance notice to arrange services. Settle Victoria Hall also runs a programme of community-focused activity and learning projects that sit alongside ticketed performances.
These initiatives include short workshops, local ensemble showcases and dance or music courses tied to festival weekends and regional cultural initiatives. They aim to broaden access, build local skills and create clear pathways for first-time participants to become regular attendees.
I’ve seen too many events fizzle out when organisers treat community work as an afterthought. Anyone who has organised community programming knows that repeat, low-barrier activities produce the most durable engagement.
For festival visitors, a 96-page booklet from The Scotsman offers a compact planning resource for events across Scotland. The supplement will be included with the newspaper on Saturday, 21 February, and the related announcement was published on 12/02/2026.
Combined with local programming at Settle Victoria Hall, these resources help audiences map a substantive year of cultural events and identify entry points for ongoing participation.
