The Whitley Bay Film Festival is a community based event that celebrates film, art, culture and our local heritage. Many volunteers have been involved in organising and delivering the festival over the years, without whom it would never have been possible.
 

We are always looking for volunteers, ideas, support and community involvement. If you fancy getting involved we'd love to hear from you.

Please get in contact by email - info@whitleybayfilmfestival.org
