As I write this on a sunny Sunday morning in Yorkshire with less than a week to go now until the much-anticipated Staithes Festival of Arts and Heritage, it struck me that some of those who may be planning to visit-which will be lovely-may not be too familiar with the village’s maze of streets and alleyways. I would hate to think of you wandering around, lost in search of me and my art(other artists are available). So, here’s a guide to finding me. I’ll be in residence for the Friday evening preview(7-9pm), and on both weekend days from 10 am I until around 6pm.

I will also have two new things to sell at the Festival ( as well as lots of new drawings and cards): a brand-new sketchbook and a 2024 calendar, with launched for the Festival, and both featuring lots of Staithes-themed drawings. If you can’t get to the Festival, but would like one (or both) , just drop me an email on john@drawninyorkshire.com and I’ll be happy to help…
