Welcome to Low Bentham Victoria Institute

Who are we?

Nestled on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, our historic venue has been serving the community since 1905.

Recently refurbished with support from NYC grants, we now offer a public toilet as a valuable village amenity.

With a spacious main hall, kitchen, billiard room, conservatory, and garden, the V.I. is an ideal space for parties, social gatherings, and business events.

We also host a variety of activities, including dance, Tai Chi, yoga, the Women’s Institute, Community Link Café, and Cornerstone Church.
