There was a party atmosphere in Staithes over the weekend as artists, residents and visitors celebrated the village’s role in art and culture over the years.
Cottages became pop-up art galleries and yards became cafes for the weekend, while kippers smoked away near the beach.

Meanwhile, more than a hundred artists exhibited work through paintings, print, ceramics, textiles, sculpture and photography.

Concerts from Eliza Carthy MBE and the Saltburn Smugglers provided the backdrop of music.
Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage takes place each year in September and has been going since 2014.
