Settle Beer Festival raises over £10,000 for children's charity

Settle Beer Festival

From Thursday 7th August until Saturday, 9th August, Settle Beer Festival was up and running to raise money.

Hosted in Victoria Hall, the event was a huge success, raising £10,371 for charity. 

The money will be split 50/50 between Settle Victoria Hall- The World's Oldest Music Hall and The Principle Trust Children’s Charity.

The Principle Trust provides free week-long respite holidays for Yorkshire children who are facing adversity such as trauma, abuse, poverty, mental health challenges, serious illness or disabilities

The organisers took to Facebook to share their appreciation for all those who were involved. 

A spokesperson from the team said: 

"We owe an enormous shout-out to the army of volunteers and staff from Vic Hall and the PT who kept things running smoothly all weekend, you are the heartbeat of the festival.

"Thank you to everyone who joined us for a beer (or two!) and supported these two amazing local causes.

"Finally, a heartfelt thanks to Tanya and Mark from Limestone Books, your guidance and expertise mean the world to us.

"We hope we did you proud as we continue the incredible legacy you’ve built for the festival."

The beer festival included live music, raffles, beers from local breweries and much more.
