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)

Hello! I’m Jacqui Barnes, aka. the quilt lady. I've been making quilts and quilted items for 30 years and have loved every minute. My philosophy is to use every scrap of fabric - I never throw anything away - I make quilts, bags, keyrings and wall hangings, and as the pieces get smaller, the items get smaller until the tiny pieces become bunting on my handmade applique cards
Venue: Staithes Museum
Medium: Applique & Quilting
