A weekend celebrating Whitby's maritime and fishing heritage with cookery demonstrations, boat trips, music and street food.

Fish and Ships fills the harbourside with cookery demonstrations from local chefs, a seafood market, heritage boats open to visitors, sea shanty singers, children's activities and, of course, fish and chips. It is one of the busiest weekends of the spring in the town.

Dates shown are the usual pattern for this event and should be confirmed with the organiser before travelling.
