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)

There are plenty of pubs, cafés and village shops serving food and drink during the festival, and we also welcome a small number of visiting caterers.
If you’re a non-commercial provider and would like to run a small-scale pop-up, please read the information here and make sure you can comply with all the terms and conditions.
