After two years of not being able to host the event, Scarborough Hospitality Association are bringing the “Yorkshire Hospitality, Tourism and Business Expo” event back to Scarborough Spa next week.

The event on Wednesday March 2nd will see over 140 businesses exhibiting their products and services to hospitality and retail traders across the Borough and beyond.

When the event was last held in 2019 over 1000 hospitality businesses attended the event.

Exhibitors will come together from across the region and will include a range of food, drink and service providers and attractions such as Bid Foods, Booker, Millers, Hopwells, Whitby Gin and Wold Top Brewery. Tourism leader Visit England are also attending.

Shirley Smith, Chairman of the Scarborough Hospitality Association, said

“We are delighted to be holding the event once again at Scarborough Spa and look forward to welcoming businesses from across Yorkshire and beyond; it is fantastic to see so many businesses coming together to showcase what fantastic produce we have to offer our visitors to the area.”

Beverley Waites, Catering Development Manager for Booker Wholesale said

“We are really looking forward to the event this year and discussing the products that we can provide to businesses from across the region.”

Janet Deacon, Head of Tourism and Culture said,

“This is a fantastic event which enables our independent producers to showcase their products and provides a great opportunity for business to business networking. I am really looking forward to meeting our local businesses and suppliers in person after two years of disruption”.

The event opens at 10am and entry and parking are free.
