Staithes Festival of Arts and Heritage

 

Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage

Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage has established itself as one of the friendliest festivals on the Yorkshire coast — a must-see weekend in the regional arts calendar.

Step inside a village like no other as the doors of cottages are thrown open, transforming Staithes into a trail of pop-up art galleries showcasing painting, print, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, photography and more.

Alongside the open studios, enjoy a programme celebrating Staithes’ rich history and heritage, including walks, talks, photographs and film shows.

Location: Staithes — 11 miles north of Whitby (TS13 5BH)

Sophie Eaton

I am a local watercolour and ink artist inspired by the places I visit, with a strong focus on Whitby and the North Yorkshire coast. My work mainly focuses on landscapes and buildings, capturing familiar scenes with a loose, expressive approach. I embrace a slightly scruffy and distinct style that celebrates imperfection, reflecting how rough lines and marks can create something beautiful. Through my paintings, I show the character and charm of the places I love.

Venue: St Peters Centre, Church St, TS13 5DB

Medium: Watercolour and Ink
