The Whitby Rebels

09 Jun 2026 - 13 Jun 2026

In Whitby Harbour, in the summer of 1991, something extraordinary happened. A humble pleasure boat set sail for the Arctic, crewed by misfits, pensioners and the vicar for Egton and Grossmont.

The mission? To erect a plaque on a volcanic island hundreds of miles north of Iceland.

The boat was illegal, the crew untrained and the plan…unhinged!

A joyful, (mostly) true story of British eccentricity and determination!

Five people in a row, all with their eyes raised towards the sky.
A man, with a pipe in his mouth, stands behind a ships wheel, steering a boat.
A person, wearing a life jackets, holds a ships bell and a tape measure.
A person in an orange rain coat hold two boat fenders.
A person in a kilt holding a fuel can and a bottle of whiskey.
A person in a donkey jacket, with a large beard, holds a length of rope whilst looking bemused.
A person, wearing a red raincoat and a blue woolly, holds a small brass sextant.
A person, wearing large headphones, talks into a microphone.
A person, dressed as a vicar, holds an orange life preserver round their neck.
A person holding and old fashioned landline phone, with the handset held to their ear, looking bemused.
