Books by The Beach Brings Big Names to Scarborough This Weekend

BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner, Yorkshire Vet Julian Norton and Bake Off winner David Atherton are just some of the authors appearing at this weekends Books by the Beach festival in Scarborough.

The literary festival has been running for the past 15 years and organiser Heather French says while it's always ben a little challenging to get the big authors to visit the Yorkshire Coast, arranging this year's festival has been particularly challenging given the uncertainty around the lockdowns.

Despite the challenges the programme for this weekend's festival is packed full of big names from TV, Journalism and the arts.

Heather French says the line-up  is bringing people to the town from around the country.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
