NATIONAL LOTTERY GRANT Announcement 29th Aug 2025

The Riley-Smith Hall Charitable Company is delighted to announce that The National Lottery Community Fund has provided a grant of £20,000 towards our project to build accessible entrance ramps at the front of the hall.

The Riley-Smith Hall is a landmark building in the Tadcaster Conservation Area. The scheme has therefore been designed to be of the highest quality with ramps to be built from Yorkshire sandstone and traditional hand-forged iron railings.

In total the project will cost £100,000 with the remaining £80,000 coming from the Riley-Smith Hall’s own charity funds which have been carefully saved over many years to enable us to complete this worthy project.

Planning permission was obtained in 2024. The stone and ironwork will now be ordered ready for construction which will take place between February half term and Easter next year.

The Riley-Smith Hall, Tadcaster is available to hire for a wide range of functions. The hall is used for dances and dance competitions, rehearsals and concerts, children’s dance and theatre classes, shows, pantomimes and meetings.
