Victoria Hall, Settle is a Grade II listed[1] concert hall in Kirkgate, Settle, North Yorkshire, England. It is England's oldest surviving music hall.[2]

Built in about 1852,[1] and designed by Sharpe and Paley, the hall opened as Settle Music Hall on 11 October 1853.[3] It was restored in 2000.[1][4]

The building is owned by Craven District Council. The hall is run by a charity, Settle's Victoria Hall, which was established in 1991 and presents a wide programme of drama, comedy and music[5][6] as well as community events, workshops and indoor markets.[7]
