Staithes Festival has established itself as one of the friendliest festival on the coast – a must-see event in the regional arts calendar.
During the weekend the doors of cottages in the village are thrown open as pop-up art galleries in a unique selling exhibition.
The heritage of Staithes is celebrated through a programme of walks, talks, historic photographs, film shows, and a demonstration of how to make a lobster pot!
