Staithes Festival of Arts and Heritage

What's On

We are planning a great line up of talks, walks, workshops and events which will be listed here as they are confirmed. You can also keep up to date with Festival news on our Facebook page.

About the events:

• There is no pre-booking, it's first come, first served.

• All the speakers give their time free of charge for which we are most appreciative.

• All talks are free unless otherwise stated, but we do pass round a collecting bucket for your contributions.

• ALL the money collected during the Festival goes directly towards funding the Festival and to good causes in the village.

• To date the Festival have contributed some £8,500 to village causes. 

Open Evening Friday 19:00 - 20:30

The open evening launches the Festival and gives a taster of what is to come. Galleries open their doors to friends, family, patrons, villagers and anyone who wants to have a sneak preview before the full business starts on Saturday. Please take a walk around the village and meet the artists. You will be made welcome and may even be offered a drink and a little bite of something. There will of course be an opportunity to buy as well. As soon as it is dark Light Fantastic will illuminate the village.
