'Fraid not, Chanteyranger. It's moved to the last weekend in May, the Monday of which is a public holiday here. According to Richard, "The festival is held during May because it is a better slot for the event. Whitby had been invaded by Goths during the Oct weekend and nothing worked for us."

Unfortunately, that's a weekend that we're never available due to our village custom taking place then, so the Captain Cook Festival is off for us, I'm sorry to say.

Not much help, Dick and Carol - hope you manage to find some more work here.
