The event is to celebrate some of the town's seafood and maritime heritage.

There will also be children's activities and walkabout acts as well as interactive workshops, tours and talks at some of Whitby's most iconic buildings.

Janet Deacon says that there will be a few famous faces attending the event. 

It all get's underway at 9am, and you can download a programme by visiting: https://www.discoveryorkshirecoast.com/discover/whats-on/whitby-fish-and-ships-day-1-p1916561
