23 Apr 10 - 04:34 PM (#2892945) Subject: Whitby Folk Week dates this year From: Jack Campin The website says 21-27 August. It seems weird to start a festival on a Saturday and end it on a Friday, is that right? |

23 Apr 10 - 05:04 PM (#2892966) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week dates this year From: JHW I dare say there'll be things on the preceding Friday night but running to end on the Fri night leaves the second weekend for you to go to another festival! ie Towersey, Wadebridge, Shrewsbury. Similarly Sidmouth runs Fri night to Fri night then Broadstairs starts the Saturday following and runs to the Fri night again. |

24 Apr 10 - 07:31 AM (#2893335) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week dates this year From: SylviaN Just in case those of you who haven't been to Whitby and are wondering why the arrangement is Saturday to Friday. It's simply that, as it's a seaside holiday town, people book a week's holiday in B&B's etc in Whitby from Sat-Fri nights, which means there would be next to no accommodation on the Friday before. |

05 Jun 10 - 06:11 AM (#2921169) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week dates this year From: Mr Red Any info on the official & unofficial festival campsites? I don't fancy leaving a holiday destination on a BH Friday, there is always a logic, and traffic is not logical, avoiding it IS. |

05 Jun 10 - 11:09 AM (#2921244) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week dates this year From: gnomad Most folks leave on the Saturday (going against the flow of Bank Holiday traffic, initially at least) as the final events of Friday last well into the night. If you pack up promptly you are out of the "holiday area" before the rush starts. Some like to stay on a while (5 years and counting in my own case) but the temporary camp sites don't run on after Saturday, so alternative accommodation is required. It is a lovely place for a visit, but it would be only fair to warn that Bank Holiday weekends here are very busy as a rule, many residents try to stay home or head inland for 2-3 days. |

24 Jan 11 - 12:07 PM (#3081464) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week dates this year From: Paul Davenport Whitby dates are officially 20th to 26th August 2011. That is indeed Saturday to Friday. Those of us who party till late on the final Friday still get up in time to leave town comfortably before the Bank Holiday hordes descend. Actually it's quite a joy to drive down the Malton bypass and watch the head to tail queue going in the other direction. |

24 Jan 11 - 07:40 PM (#3081789) Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Week dates this year From: Herga Kitty I wonder if Guest 9.30 has confused Whitby with the February reunions in Sidmouth? 18-20 for singers in the Anchor and musicians in the Radway. Looking forward, anyway, to next August in the Station, Endeavour, etc, etc. Kitty |
