If you’re staying in one of our holiday cottages in Swaledale and looking for a memorable evening out, live music at Reeth Memorial Hall is a grand choice of activity. Nestled in the heart of this beautiful Yorkshire Dales village, the Hall plays host to an impressive line-up of musical talent all year round — from internationally acclaimed artists to local legends.
Whether you’re a lover of folk, jazz, blues, acoustic, or classical music, there’s something for everyone at this welcoming, community-run venue. It’s a wonderful addition to your Yorkshire Dales holiday itinerary.
Reeth Memorial Hall isn’t your average concert venue. It’s run entirely by dedicated volunteers, and there’s a genuine warmth to the welcome you’ll receive. Locals and visitors alike gather here to enjoy high-quality music in an intimate and relaxed setting.
With excellent acoustics and a cosy, historic atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to sit back with a drink and soak up some incredible live performances while surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Dales — all just a short stroll from many of our holiday cottages in Reeth.
Don’t be fooled by the size of the village — Reeth Memorial Hall regularly attracts top talent. Past performers have included household names from the folk and acoustic scenes, as well as up-and-coming artists touring the UK. The Hall’s reputation for great music and supportive audiences means musicians love to play here.
And because the venue is relatively small, you get a close-up experience that you just wouldn’t find in a big city venue — a rare treat for any music lover staying in one of our self-catering Swaledale cottages.
One of the best things about an evening at Reeth Memorial Hall is how easy and laid-back it is. No big crowds, no parking nightmares — just a short walk from many of our Reeth holiday lets and a chance to mingle with fellow music fans.
There’s usually a licensed bar on site, serving wine, beer, and soft drinks, often with proceeds going back into maintaining this much-loved venue.
If you’re planning a Yorkshire Dales holiday, it’s well worth checking the Reeth Memorial Hall website or local listings to see what’s on during your stay. Tickets are affordable, and booking in advance is recommended for popular acts.
Whether you’re based in Reeth itself or in nearby villages like Grinton, Fremington, or Healaugh, an evening of live music is a lovely way to spend time during your break.
By attending a gig at Reeth Memorial Hall, you’re not just enjoying a great night out — you’re also supporting a community asset. The Hall is a charitable organisation, and proceeds from events help maintain the building and support future programming. It’s a real example of how rural communities can come together to create something special.
Reeth Memorial Hall’s live music nights are just one of the many reasons why a holiday in Swaledale is such a rewarding experience. Whether you’re here for walking, cycling, exploring, or simply relaxing in a cosy cottage with views of the hills, be sure to check what’s on — and enjoy a magical evening of music in one of the most beautiful corners of the Yorkshire Dales.
