Makers from the town gathered to kick off what is hopefully going to be a sunny season with the summer Made in Whitby festival.

Yesterday saw the town’s creatives show off their wares up at Whitby Brewery and they will be back today with live music, demonstrations and plenty of local food and drink to try.

Made in Whitby was created to champion the town’s independent businesses and makers showing off a wide variety of produce from beer, gin, crafts, artisan food and gifts.

Made in Whitby continues today (Friday) at Whitby Brewery.
