Whatever the time of year, rain or shine, day and night, you'll find plenty going on in East Yorkshire to entertain all the family.

East Yorkshire's talent for entertaining began in medieval times, when Beverley's guild of travelling musicians were renowned throughout the country. Every year Beverley provides the perfect setting for three major music festivals, of Early Music, Chamber Music and Folk Music.

Hull is home to John Godber's Hull Truck Theatre Company, one of the country's leading contemporary theatre companies, and annual festivals here range from jazz to sea shanty to literature.

Britain's favourite entertainers take to the stage at Bridlington's Spa Theatre and Royal Hall, where the entertainment ranges from afternoon tea dances to comedy and cabaret.

Dress up and enjoy a day at Beverley Races or enjoy the annual spectacle of the Kiplingcotes Derby.

From the coast to the countryside, agricultural shows, sailing regattas and traditional village customs such as the Victorian Hayride all celebrate the many different facets of life in colourful East Yorkshire.
