What's on in Filey

No matter what time of year you plan to visit Filey, you’re sure to find a host of exciting events for the whole family to enjoy.

Home to the Filey Folk Festival, which takes place across venues throughout the town each May, celebrating a variety of folk music styles. Or, take a walk on the wild side and experience the thrill of Filey’s Trackrod Rally, an intense rally car race that draws thousands of spectators to the Yorkshire Coast every year.

Filey is also home to the popular Filey Food Festival, offering a great opportunity to sample locally produced food and indulge a little more – after all, you are on holiday!

Christmas is a special time in this coastal town, with the famous Filey Fishtive Tree – a Christmas tree like no other, made from traditional seaside lobster and crab pots.

Throughout the year, the town’s community also organizes smaller events, including craft fairs, markets, and charity fundraisers, adding to Filey’s welcoming, friendly vibe. Explore the What’s on pages to discover the exciting calendar of events taking place in Filey.
