Highlights this month include:

• A look back at the Staithes Feast of 1797, with newfound details on the curious customs of the Skep and Pole Trial

• News of our AIM grant for collections care, which will ensure long-term preservation of our treasured objects

• Stories from our latest oral history finds, transporting readers to Staithes as it once was

Plus, all volunteers are warmly invited to our Volunteer Evening on Thursday, December 12th for an evening of wine, cheese, and festive carols, where we’ll also discuss new projects for the coming year.

Thank you for being part of the Staithes Museum community. We hope you enjoy the newsletter!

Warm regards,

Rosie
