Musicport is a world music festival held in Whitby each year.

Today this popular music festival aims to introduce new sounds to attendees and attracts major names from the world music scene.

Live music from around the world

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.

Festival food

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.

Where to stay

Many people attending the Musicport Festival choose to stay at Whitby Holiday Park due to our proximity to Whitby Pavilion. We have a range of accommodation to suit families or couples. Stay on a sea view touring pitch, or book one of our luxury holiday homes or hot tub glamping pods

Extend your break and enjoy a couple of days either side of the festival to explore all that Whitby has to offer. Make the most of our heritage attractions and thriving foodie scene.
