    Whitby Sea Festival is an annual festival which takes place in and around the historic Yorkshire seaport of Whitby, one of Britain's premier maritime heritage sites.

    The festival celebrates Whitby and the Yorkshire Coast's proud connections to fishing, the sea and maritime heritage.

    Since its beginnings in 1993 as The Captain Cook Festival and then for 12 years at Seafest in Scarborough, the event has staged some of the biggest gatherings of sea balladeers, shantymen, folk musicians and singers in the UK.

    The festival promotes local musicians alongside those with international acclaim. So far, our programme has included the cream of the folk, roots, sea music and the shanty world .We have also enjoyed music from other nations including Senegal, Sicily, Canada, Eire, Luxembourg, Germany, Holland, France and the USA.

    Once again the festival is based in The Met on Argyle Road, West Cliff where you will find our box office, Shop Point and the main venue for ticketed events. This year we have added the Rifle Club as a second venue. The Rifle Club is situated opposite Whitby Leisure centre and is a short walk from The Met . Some daytime events and workshops will be held here.

    During Saturday and Sunday there will also be Shanties and Sea Songs aplenty at the Banstand and The Dock end – free for all to enjoy so make sure to catch them.

    There's a great variety of activities across the weekend including Maritime – themed concerts, workshops, singarounds, sessions and the popular 'Song for the Sea' song competition.
