Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage 2026 is the village-wide arts weekend where Staithes turns into a giant, walkable gallery — cottages, studios, and community spaces fling their doors open as pop-up selling exhibitions, with music in the streets plus talks, walks, films and heritage bits woven through the weekend.
