Settle Victoria Hall Ltd. was set up as a charity in 1999, run by a small, skeleton staff, our board of trustees and a team of over 100 volunteers. Our volunteers are the heart of Victoria Hall, taking on everything, from painting and decorating, to stewarding at events, to manning the bar and box office. If you think you’d like to get involved with volunteering, you can find more information here.

Although the building is owned by Craven District Council, the Hall is run by the trustees and management team and is independent of local authorities. Victoria Hall receives no regular grant or council funding- instead, we rely on donations from the public, and funds raised by the Friends of Victoria Hall. You can find out how to donate here.
