Staithes Festival has established itself as one of the friendliest festival on the coast – a must-go-to event in the regional arts calendar.
During the weekend some 100+ cottages in the village become temporary art galleries in a unique selling exhibition. Staithes heritage is also celebrated in fossils, fishing, historic photographs and film shows.
