Staithes Festival of Arts and Heritage

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)

< Back to Artists

The work produced for the Staithes Festival has been created by a diverse range of students aged 17 to 77, studying on courses designed to support progression into Higher Education and creative careers. The cohort includes both first-year students and those in their second year of study. The School offers a wide variety of specialist courses, delivered by staff with extensive industry experience. The Northern School of Art has been rated Ofsted Outstanding for over 15 years. Last year achieves some of the highest achievement rates nationally. The students are really excited about this rich opportunity for others to see their creative journeys in such a professional and exciting local Festival and look forward to showing and discussing their work
