Scarborough has layers. Medieval butter crosses are tucked beside the harbour, Victorian cliff lifts still climb, and the Cinder Track winds through woodland where steam trains once ran. There's James Cook's apprentice house, the Stephen Joseph Theatre's intimate stages, and Peasholm Park's dramatic naval reenactments. But here’s the thing, between social media noise and local groups, the real finds get lost. We've done the scrolling for you. Each week, The City Brief brings you the signal straight to your inbox: the events worth your time, the neighbourhoods worth exploring, and the history worth knowing. No algorithms, no clutter. Just Scarborough, curated by someone who knows it.
