Settle Stories
The world needs more storytellers.
We help them learn, grow, and find each other.
Join Us. Turn Stories Into Bridges.

In a world of constant distraction, storytelling is the irreplaceable art that demands presence. It builds empathy, creates culture, and helps you stop, listen, and find common ground. Since 2010, Settle Stories has been here to support that work: resources for schools, training for artists and communities, and events from Yorkshire reaching audiences worldwide.

Storytelling with Settle Stories in the Yorkshire Dales

About Settle Stories

We are a Yorkshire-based storytelling organisation rooted in the Dales and reaching audiences across the UK and beyond. Founded sixteen years ago, we have grown from a local festival into a year-round programme connecting schools, artists, communities and digital audiences through the power of story.As an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation and registered charity, we combine rigorous creative practice with genuine community impact. Our new chapter focuses on monthly events, expanded digital programming, and heritage preservation — building something that endures.
