Ethno England will take place in the ancient fishing port of Whitby set on the North Yorkshire heritage coast. One of the most picturesque ports in England, Whitby and its harbour is dominated by the beautiful 13th century cliff top Abbey, with narrow alleys and old cobbled streets leading down to the busy quayside.

From the old streets, 199 steps lead up to the parish Church of St Mary, one of the finest Anglo Saxon churches in the country, featuring carved pews made by ship’s carpenters and craftsmen from Whitby’s once booming whaling fleet. Its churchyard is famous for providing the setting which inspired Bram Stoker to write his classic novel, Dracula.

Inside the Whitby Museum discover the life story of the town’s most famous inhabitant, Captain James Cook, who sailed from the port to change the history of the world. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum, his former home, is furnished in the style of his times, when Whitby was the seventh-largest port in England.
