Made in Whitby Festivals
Each year Made In Whitby hosts two main festivals in the grounds of Whitby Brewery, with the beautiful backdrop of the famous Whitby Abbey.
The Summer festival kicks off the sunny season at the beginning of July, bringing producers, makers and performers together for a two-day event. You can experience live performance and demonstration, dance to music, and taste the local delicacies all day long whilst learning about Whitby’s incredible history. The Christmas Festival wraps up the year in festive style, with roasted chestnuts, fabulous live music and a traditional Dickensian feel.

“We’ve always been proud of our heritage, but when we attended the first Made in Whitby Festival, we were especially proud to originate from Whitby. To see the amazing businesses that have come out of Whitby all gathered for one event, united by passion, creating a love of Whitby, and of course, beer – we were at Whitby Brewery after all! We will remember the incredible sense of community spirit for a long time.”
