Alternative festivals - Whitby Folk Week

For an unusual cultural event in August, HF Holidays is highlighting Whitby Folk Week which comprises over 600 events such as workshops, concerts, singarounds, dances, street entertainment and spontaneous fringe happenings.

Tickets for some of the above highlights are included, plus there is free time to enjoy the festival at your leisure and to explore the surrounding area with Robin Hood Bay, the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and Whitby Abbey all within easy reach.

Based at one of the company’s UK Country Houses – Larpool Hall set within 14 acres of gardens and woodland on the outskirts of Whitby – the seven-night holiday, starting 22 August, costs £589 per person, twin-share, inclusive of full board accommodation, the holiday programme, transport to and from the venues, plus the services of a leader.
