Our mission is to change your world through story.
We collaborate with communities and artists to create transformative experiences that ignite curiosity and reimagine storytelling.
Our flagship festival, year round events and learning programme welcome everyone to our idyllic home in the Yorkshire Dales.
In our new venue The Joinery we bring the world to Settle and show Settle to the world through our live and digital programme.
Our programme is shaped by the following principles:
We pioneer new ways to share stories
Open and inclusive we believe that story and the arts can change lives for the better
We use mindfulness to help everyone realise their creative potential.
We are a home for the myths and folktales that have shaped human lives over thousands of years and the current stories that matter.
We embrace cultural difference by celebrating stories of our community and cultures across the globe.
We welcome everyone. Whether you’re an online friend, a visitor or live in the Yorkshire Dales, Settle Stories is for you. Join us on a quest to enrich your life and the lives of others with the power of story and the arts.
You too can get involved and join us. Let's create stories together.
