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)

Zosia’s work combines elements of landscape, architecture and nature with richly textured gold leaf. Bringing tactile organic surface together with multiple layers of gilding, her paintings are a celebration of the decorative object. She was lucky enough to win Jackson's Art 'Atmospheric Acrylics' Competition, and has been a contestant on Sky Landscape Artist of the Year.
Venue: Foretop Cottage, Church Street, Staithes, TS13 5DB
