The Seahouses Festival is an annual cultural event in Northumberland, UK.
It began in 1999 as a small Sea Shanty festival. After a significant European Funding grant from the Leader+ [1] in 2005 [2], it has grown into a more broadly based cultural celebration. Located around Seahouses' harbour with the natural amphitheatre of Harbour Hill as the focal point, the festival features a variety of music, art, film and drama alongside childrens activities and street performers.
Community groups, artists and historians work with the local people throughout the year on a variety of projects and events which culminate in the festival weekend.
