Scarborough

Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, England.

Scarborough has 3 beaches that are still popular with tourists. These are South Bay Beach, North Bay Beach, and Cayton Bay. Scarborough Castle is a former medieval Royal fortress situated on a rocky promontory overlooking the North Sea and Scarborough. The site of the castle, encompassing the Iron Age settlement, Roman signal station, an Anglo-Scandinavian settlement and chapel, the 12th-century enclosure castle and 18th-century battery, is monument of national importance.

The Scarborough Fair Collection is a museum of fairground mechanical organs and showman’s engines, and is one of the largest collections of its type in Europe. Scarborough has several museum and visual-arts facilities. Wood End Museum is a creative centre including a work-space for artists and the digital cluster, plus an exhibition space.

The Rotunda Museum is a national centre for geology. There is also a creative industries network called ‘Creative Coast’ comprising artists, designers, writers and other creatives with the shared vision of a culturally vibrant economy on the North Yorkshire coast. There are two areas where graffiti art is legal in Scarborough, Sainsbury’s basketball courts / all-weather pitch and Falsgrave Park wall. Both have seen many collaborations and murals.

The Scarborough Spa complex is home to the Scarborough Spa Orchestra, the last remaining seaside orchestra in the UK. The town is home to the annual Scarborough Jazz Festival which takes place each September at The Spa Complex, and features internationally renowned musicians.
