Staithes Festival  Of Arts And Heritage 2013

Navigation Menu

Saturday and Sunday 14th/15th September 2013

Last year the first Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage brought some 3,000 visitors to Yorkshire's historic and beautiful fishing village with a glorious mix of paintings, prints, photography and more as cottages became pop-up galleries for the weekend. We plan to do the same again this year. We will have more galleries, new talks, walks and workshops. There will be pop-up cafés in cottages and a brand new music programme. Brian Butcher our Musical Director, died in January. He made an enormous contribution to the culture of the village and the district for 40 years. We dedicate this, our second festival to Brian.
