Celloship of the String is a cello ensemble based in Lancashire, U.K. The four core members of the collective are Bob Buller, Ilona Hepburn, Penny Holt and Margit van der Zwan. Each cellist brings a wealth of experience and diversity, which is reflected in their vibrant repertoire. Their professional work ranges from TV & radio appearances, teaching, charity recitals, orchestral playing, recording, busking and performing at music festivals with big names in the pop world. The group was founded in Clitheroe in 2022, with the fundamental ethos being to unite friendship and music. The quartet performs at private functions, and for concert societies including recitals at National Trust properties. The group’s performance repertoire ranges through the centuries, and often incorporates the players’ own arrangments and compositions for cello quartet.
The warm mellow tones of the cello are recognised to be the closest sounding instrument to the human voice, which may go some way to explaining why the cello reaches deep into the hearts of the listener. This combination of 4 cellos together is rarely experienced, but is sure to be something not easily forgotten.

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.
