Scarborough Castle Prepares To Welcome Residents Today

It's the first of four free opportunities for local residents to visit Scarborough Castle today. 

The Big Ideas by the Sea Festival is on show with performers, Morris dancers, a headland history tour and a mini dig taking place throughout the day. 

The festival brings guest speakers to talk all about the issues with our environment, climate change and history. 

Mark Williamson - Cluster Manager for English Heritage - said that this afternoon is the perfect opportunity for local people to come up and visit the castle. 

Mark Williamson says that there is plenty for visitors to get involved with today.

Today's event is the first of four other events that are taking place throughout the summer months:

Sunday 11th and 18th June - The Great Big Green Week 

Saturday 9th September - Headland History tours

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.
