Staithes Weekender

"Staithes Weekender" 9/10/11th September

This is largely a free event, organised through St Peter’s Centre - our local community centre.

We are looking to raise £1000 to meet our ambitious target of £4000, to make an unforgettable weekend of music and storytelling, film and poetry, guided walks, sightseeing trips and living tributes to the culture and heritage of the beautiful and historic community of Staithes.

We have got off to a good start with sponsorship from Staithes Art and Heritage Festival Committee and North Yorkshire County Council.

Please donate and help us raise the remaining £1000 to fill Staithes with fun and song and fabulous memories taken from Staithes long, rich heritage and traditions.

If you can come to the event, please stop and say hello at the Weekender gazebo – we would love to say thank you in person.

Meanwhile, thank you!
