What's On in East Yorkshire
Discover what's happening across East Yorkshire with The White Shire.
Our growing East Yorkshire What's On guide brings together local events, activities and things to do, from village fairs and farmers' markets to festivals, live music, heritage events, family days out and seasonal celebrations.
We're particularly interested in the local, independent and unusual events that help make East Yorkshire's towns, villages, coast and communities special.
Discover What's On in East Yorkshire
East Yorkshire has something happening throughout the year.
From Hull and Beverley to Bridlington, Hornsea, the Yorkshire Wolds and smaller towns and villages, our guide is designed to help you discover something interesting to do.
New events are added regularly, so this page will continue to grow as we discover more of what's happening across East Yorkshire.
More Than the Big Events
There are already established websites covering East Yorkshire's biggest festivals and major events.
The White Shire isn't trying to compete with them.
We're interested in the events that can easily be overlooked — the local markets, village shows, heritage days, independent food events, community celebrations and unusual activities that you might not otherwise discover.
Discover Events You Might Otherwise Miss
A major event will usually have plenty of publicity.
A small local event might not.
That's where The White Shire can help.
We're building this guide to shine a light on the events, people and communities that give East Yorkshire its character.
Plan More of Your Yorkshire Day Out
An event can also be a reason to explore somewhere new.
You can discover somewhere interesting through our Yorkshire Attractions, explore the wider What's On in Yorkshire guide, or discover local businesses through our Yorkshire Businesses.
Have an Event to Tell Us About?
If you organise an event in East Yorkshire, or know about something happening locally that you think deserves to be featured, get in touch with The White Shire.
We're particularly interested in local, independent and unusual events that people might not find through the larger event websites.
