An Evening of Popular Music and Massed Bands
The Accrington Pipe Band was formed by Scots who came to work in the cotton mills of East Lancashire. The band started in 1885 making it the oldest civilian pipe band in the UK and Ireland and possible the rest of the world. This is recognised by the RSPBA. Last year the band celebrated its 140th anniversary with a number of concerts, we have also recently taken part in the prestigious Tartan Week event in Edinburgh. The band performs at many well known venues including the Royal Lancashire Show and the Bideford Massed Pipe Band parade. We also attend a number of military events including Armed Forces days and Remembrance Sunday Parades. We wear the traditional full dress uniform of the Cameron Highlanders and our tartan is Cameron of Erracht. We have an extensive repertoire of pipe music and we enjoy playing with orchestras and brass bands. The band has a proud tradition and is part of the DNA of the town of Accrington and the Hyndburn area of which we represent.

CABARET SEATING
Most of the shows at Victoria Hall use ‘cabaret-style’ seating. This means that your seats will be unreserved, which allows you to decide where to sit when you arrive.
The stalls (downstairs) are set up informally, with chairs around small tables, for a sociable, relaxed atmosphere, and somewhere to put your drink. Cabaret seating also allows space for dancing, which is highly encouraged at Victoria Hall!
For those who prefer a more ‘traditional’ theatre experience, the balcony seats are laid out in rows and raked, ensuring all seats have an excellent view.
For parties of six or more, tables in the stalls can be reserved- contact us to reserve a table. If you have reserved a table, we ask that at least one of your party turn up at least 30 minutes before the performance start time, in order to secure your table.
We can always reserve seating or wheelchair spaces in the stalls for those unable to use the stairs- just let us know when you book your tickets.
Please note, online bookings are subject to a booking fee. Tickets can also be bought by phone on 01729 825718, or in person at our box office. Opening hours are 10am-2pm, Monday-Friday.
Show end times given are an estimate only. Doors open 45 minutes before show start times.
Settle Victoria Hall reserves the right to turn away any customers not adhering to social-distancing laws, government guidelines, and/ or venue safeguarding policies.
