Mark your calendars and get your pint glasses ready because the much-loved Settle Victoria Hall Beer Festival is returning from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th August 2026 and it’s shaping up to be the best one yet!
Hosted at the iconic Settle Victoria Hall, the world’s oldest music hall, this popular annual beer festival brings together fantastic drinks, live music, great company and community spirit for an unforgettable weekend in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
Whether you’re a dedicated ale enthusiast, cider lover, or simply searching for a brilliant summer day out, the Settle Beer Festival has something for everyone.
What to Expect at the Beer Festival Settle 2026
Visitors to this year’s Beer Festival Settle can look forward to:
🍺 A hand-picked selection of local and national beers
🍏 Refreshing ciders perfect for summer sipping
🎶 Live music from talented local performers on Saturday
🌿 Indoor and outdoor garden areas to relax and soak up the atmosphere
🎟️ Free entry – because good times should be enjoyed by everyone!
The festival is proudly family-friendly and dog-friendly, making it the perfect event to enjoy with friends, family and even your four-legged companions.
Supporting Two Incredible Local Causes
One of the best things about the Settle Victoria Hall Beer Festival is that every pint poured helps support two fantastic local charities.
All proceeds from the event will be shared between:
Settle Victoria Hall
A much-loved community venue that brings arts, culture, entertainment and events to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
The Principle Trust Children’s Charity
A Yorkshire-based charity providing free respite breaks to children facing adversity, mental health challenges, poverty, trauma and difficult life circumstances. These holidays give families the chance to rest, reconnect and create precious memories together.
So while you’re enjoying a cold pint and listening to live music, you’ll also be helping make a real difference to local people.
We’re incredibly grateful to Rathbones for sponsoring this year’s event. Between now and the beer festival, we’ll be introducing the amazing local businesses that have sponsored barrels of beer and cider and are helping us make the Settle Victoria Hall Beer Festival another great success.
