The beer festival will be raising funds for The Principle Trust Children’s Charity
The much-loved Settle Victoria Hall Beer Festival is set to return from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th August 2026, promising an even bigger celebration of great beer, live entertainment and Yorkshire hospitality.
Held at the iconic Settle Victoria Hall, the world's oldest surviving music hall, the free-to-enter festival will once again bring together residents, visitors, beer enthusiasts and families for three days of carefully selected ales, refreshing ciders and live music.
Every pint served will help support both Settle Victoria Hall, enabling it to continue delivering arts, culture and community activities, and The Principle Trust Children's Charity, which provides free respite holidays for children and their families across Yorkshire facing some of life’s toughest challenges.
The event, founded by Tanya and Mark Wildsmith, is free to attend and family-friendly, with dogs welcome too. The festival is open from:
-
Thursday 6 August: 4.00pm – 10.00pm
-
Friday 7 August: 12.00pm – 10.00pm
-
Saturday 8 August: 12.00pm – 8.00pm
This year’s sponsors include Rathbones, as the headline sponsor, and Walker Foster Solicitors, who are this year’s 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, from Rathbones, this year’s main event sponsor, said:
“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.
