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.

Artist Spotlight - Chosen At Random From This Year's Exhibitors:
My pots are for drinking out of, eating from and cooking with. I make mostly wheel thrown stoneware and earthenware pots of all shapes and sizes. My glazes are food safe and the colours reflect my love of the sea and my garden with lots of blues, greens and browns. I will be exhibiting with a friend and fellow potter, we will both be very pleased to see you!
Venue: Corner Cottage, Beckside
Medium: Wheel thrown pottery
