The event takes place at Whitby Pavilion and runs over 3 days. There are 5 stages to discover, including main stage, club stage and the theatre! Pick up a programme and enjoy a host of live music, dance, comedy and open mic sessions. You’re bound to find someone new!
All of the stages are indoors, so there’s no need to worry about the weather! You can also enjoy a DJ hub with dance floor, workshops, cultural experience and a festival bazaar where you can pick up something special from a hand-picked selection of independent producers and stores.
Every year the festival organises food vans outside the venue, for that authentic festival experience. Sample a selection of tasty street food or head into Whitby Town Centre, which is a 10-minute walk away.
