Staithes Festival has established itself as one of the friendliest festivals on the coast – a must-see event in the regional arts calendar.
This year it's 15-17 September 2023.
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!

Most trustees of the previous festivals are busy with other things so have decided to step down. We are grateful for their inspiration and hard work. A new group has been formed to run the festival 2023, comprising local businesses, full and part-time Staithes residents.
More details soon.
