Long shot here, but around 2006-2008 a steel drums band played outside Woolworths. Does anybody have any video or photos from this?

Hi all,

I realise there might be nothing that can help me here, but if anyone can that would be massively appreciated.

We’ve booked into the Royal over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and we were told that although there’d be a surplus charge, we wouldn’t need to book in for lunch on Christmas Day as we could sort that when we checked in.

Well, when we rang today we were told that the hotel is now fully booked for food on Christmas Day, and has been for at least two weeks. Brilliant.

Question is if anyone knows anywhere in Scarborough we might be able to still book in for a Turkey Dinner, preferably not more than about £60 per head, so that we’re not left sitting around like lemons on Christmas Day.

Any advice at all is massively appreciated

Hi all

Looking to travel from central Scotland for a long weekend to see Basement Jaxx at the Open Air Theatre in June next year. So I have a few questions

1. What is this like as a venue (obviously if it rains it rains)
2. Is it easy enough to get there and back if I get a place to stay in or near the centre (open to suggestions on the best places to stay)
3. Any must see or unique things to do that I won't find through a quick Google?

Thanks folks

Any musicians in here needing a vocalist or a bassist I'm trying to get some experience performing live for college I'm 17 , thanks.

Hello dear Redditors,

I’m off to Scarborough with my partner this weekend. Wondering if you guys had any recos. My googling skills are usually good but can’t seem to find much to do in Scarborough.

1. Gonna visit Mick Grimes cause Danny Malin (ratemytakeaway) went there.
2. Probably gonna visit Peasholm park.
3. Gonna do the castle

Any good walking tour recos? Please provide details if you can, these walks can be hit and miss sometimes. Been on some great and terrible ones.

Any good restaurants? Any cultural stuff to do? See? Any nice areas to just walk about?

Hi does anyone know if there's any jobs for a 17 year old , most place dont clarify age requirements. Thanks

Hi there, does anyone know if CU Scarborough has an LGBT society? Thank you for any help :)

We’re visiting Scarbrough this weekend. Last time my partner was here was about 20yesrs ago and we’re looking for something he remembers seeing here. There was A machine where you put money, and it had little figures in that moved around and there was a Loch Ness monster in there. From what he remembered it was outside on one of the streets on a bank.

Hi yall I've just started a new college year and I need to know where 17 year old can watch open mic nights in scarborough, this is request by my teacher to watch live bands . Thanks

Hi all, are there any secondhand furniture shops open till 6 pm in Scarborough?

I can't imagine it's open anymore, but would be good to have some help from people who were clubbing at that time. I was 10 or 11, on a school trip, and they booked out a nightclub to basically have a school disco type thing. The only thing I can really remember about the club is that it was rectangular, and in the middle was a slightly lowered rectangular dance floor. Pretty sure there was a bar at each end. This isn't urgent by any means, was just reminiscing with a friend!

Hello! We are staying in a cottage between Scarborough and Filey soon. I'm hoping I could get some good suggestions for beaches nearby please! Are there any beaches we can take nets and catch things, or maybe somewhere we can go crabbing? Also are there any other days out you'd recommend? Thanks!

First day in Scarborough today for a week's holiday with the kids. Phone signal was perfect until we went down Mcbean steps to the beach and then I just could not get a signal at all....well my phone showed 4g still but nothing would load. I tried restarting phone, switching to airplane mode and back but still the same results

Is this a common issue or did I just luck out for some reason?

Me and 3 people are going to scarbrough for a week give or take in a few days.

When we went before we used a website called “busbud” and got tickets, however they didnt scan at all and the drivers who seemed exhausted just told us to get on instead.

So i did some searching and found ”Transdev Go” which also does tickets, but have never used it before.

Im a little anxious about using bus bud again incase the tickets dont work again and we arent let on and would prefer something that will work.

has anyone used transdev co to buy tickets ? would it just be easier to buy a one way ticket on the day ? could really use some help here 😭

Hi I just want to ask about any jobs that are going on I've looked on scarborough Facebook page but there's mostly labour jobs that I don't know if I could do but if anyone work place is hiring at the moment please let me know.

(I'm 17) , thanks.

Does anyone know what the timings are for Bill Bailey on Friday?

Only thing I can see on the open air theatre website is that the shows normally start at 7pm, but they don't seem to have been publishing any individual timings for any show at the OAT. I haven't been to a show there for a while, but they used to say what times the support and main act were due to go on stage.

I'm doing a project whereby I'm detailing the rise and decline of the british stay-cation, with lovely Scarbados being used as a prime example!

The big issue I've ran into is - It is almost impossible to find images/photographs of foreshore rd. from between the time of 1990-2005, infact, it's even easier to find imagery/artwork from the 1890s than it is the 1990s! Google Photos always throws up the same few watermarked images and the Facebook Groups are usually focused more towards 1940's-1970's Scarborough.

Does anyone here have any images they would be willing to share? I'm looking for images/videos on just the beach front of South Bay, the row of amusements, the old terror towers facade, the older chip-shops etc., essentially any media at all, whether's it your own or borrowed from the internet!

Would anyone be willing to help? :)

Hi all. My daughter has left school due to severe bullying and is now really isolated. She has had a really rough time of it and definitely isn't ready to try school again at the minute. She's very lonely and isolated and I really would like her to make a friend. She doesn't really have any hobbies, she doesn't like dancing or anything like that. Is there any local clubs teenagers go to to help them socialise? She's very nervous but when she opens up she is funny, kind and an amazing friend .

Hi, I’m 26 and have lived in Scarborough for 3 years but have found it difficult to make friends here. I joined keep Scarborough tidy when I first moved here but everyone I met at events were a lot older then me and treat me like a child. I used to work for a Scarborough charity where there were lots of groups for children, people with disabilities and the elderly but I haven’t found any groups populated by young people that doesn’t require criteria I don’t meet.

I don’t really drink and I’m not a fan of football which seems to be the most popular activities for people my age here (I may be wrong)

I enjoy gaming, hiking, amateur photography, arts and crafts and light sports.

I just want to meet likeminded people who are either my own generation or don’t treat younger people like children. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hey everyone,

I’m 25/F finishing my last of uni in York, but am finding the housing market there incredibly expensive.

For the past two years I’ve been ambitious in improving my surfing yet have found it difficult due to inconsistent lack of access to the sea. Anyway, I’m considering taking up a shared house in Scarbs, but would like some opinions on what the area is like to live in, especially if you’re a local surfer - how good are the waves usually? York feels pretty safe with the odd occasion of faster paced walking at 3am, but nothing too threatening. How would you describe Scarbs in this sense? Super curious to hear anything about your experience living there.

Thanks!

Feel like this will be the best place to ask. I'm alyx, transfem enby, 19, from York. I'm looking for some people to play music with. I play guitar and mandolin. I'm fairly open to anything but I'm mostly into punk, Celtic rock, folkpunk, metal, rock, ska and blues.

I wanted to ask here because I'm a loco cleaner at the NYMR and stay in grosmont quite a bit. If I'm staying up for a few days I go to Whitby for a bit after my shift. I get free travel on NYMR trains so it's a nice way to pass the time before my next shift. So It would be ideal to find people to jam with in Whitby. I'm up at grosmont quite a lot at the moment cause I have nothing else on.

I'm aware that Yong adult musicians isn't really the type of people around this sub so my other question is where would you recommend to find people fitting this description. I've only ever really been to Whitby for the beach and railway so I don't know it to well.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Or alternatively DM me. Thanks!
