Staithes once again hosted its arts and heritage festival which saw more than 100 artists descending on the seaside village, creating a selling exhibition of pop-up galleries in cottages and historic buildings.

With live music, workshops and talks among a packed programme of events, the village enjoyed a tremendous weekend.

Photographer Richard Ponter went along to capture the festival on camera.
