Festival Organisers
Many of the trustees from previous festivals are now busy with other commitments and have decided to step down. We’re really grateful for all their hard work and the inspiration they’ve given the festival over the years.
In 2023, a new organising group came together to run the festival — made up of local business owners and full-time Staithes residents.
