Every year Broadstairs holds a folk week festival. The seafront pubs have live music all day and the stalls sell everything from funky clothes and jewellery to delicious fudge.

Beverley Town Trail, East Yorkshire
The arts trail in Beverley, East Yorkshire is based on the theme of the ancient trade guilds which existed in the town.
It starts at the Tourist Information Centre on Toll Gavel (where you can get a free map) and takes in the main town centre areas as well as lesser-travelled streets, and goes all the way through the old industrial areas to the beck, and back again. The route is split in to four parts, so it’s easy to do it in bits. It takes a couple of hours to do the whole lot.

Hornsea, East Yorkshire
Hornsea is a seaside town in East Yorkshire, a few miles down the coast from Bridlington.
It is a traditional seaside town and, to be honest, there’s not much there. There are some caravan parks, and the usual amusement arcades, fish and chip shops, and B&Bs. For us as a young family, it is perfect.
