Acoustic Gathering

Our free annual festival, Acoustic Gathering, has grown from strength to strength over the last six years. Set in the beautiful location of Peasholm Park, Scarborough, musicians take to the stage from the bandstand on the lake. Last year's Accoustic Gathering was a massive success, showcasing over 200 accoustic acts from Yorkshire and further afield. Acoustic Gathering events happen throughout the year.

Filey Festival of Music

Our 1st Festival was in 2007 when 4 members of filey Methodist Church decided that our Town needed something focused in one place. All money raised went back into the church. With support from more than 60 Season Ticket holders, eight local firms becoming our Patrons and three major Sponsors providing additional support, it was a great success. As well as providing Filey with a musical event every two months, plans for our 2011 Festival are well under way! Our aim now is to provide top class performers for the people of Filey and for tourists during the Spring Bank Holiday Week. (Photo: Hunmanby Silver Band)
