Moor & Coast

Festival Of Traditional Music, Song, Dance & Arts

Whitby, North Yorkshire

The main festival venue is in the Whitby Community College. Here are located the Campsite (with indoor facilities and showers), the main Concert Hall with Real Ale Bar.
Our secondary venue is the Friendship Rowing Club in Church Street in the old part of Whitby. Here we hold smaller concerts and events. The Friendship is a unique venue as the large window, in the club, overlooks Whitby, and the river, and acts as the backdrop to the stage.
