About The City Brief Scarborough
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Scarborough
Scarborough’s calendar reflects its seasons, tides, and community spirit. From Scalby Mills to Falsgrave and Stepney, each area has its own character and events you should know about. The City Brief aims to keep you connected to what's happening across Scarborough, so you don't miss the Sunday Market, the Scarborough Food and Drink Festival, or Easter Weekend activities. Whether you've lived here for years or are new to the area, staying informed about local events is key. Our weekly updates track everything from cultural programmes at the Stephen Joseph Theatre and the Scarborough Open Air Theatre Season to family activities, seasonal markets, and civic gatherings. We help you discover what’s happening in your neighbourhood and across town, from residential areas to places visitors enjoy. Scarborough has a rich history, medieval fairs, Victorian seaside traditions, and landmarks like Marine Drive, Scarborough Beach, and Scarborough Castle. This heritage is still visible today in events like the Scarborough Fringe Festival, the Christmas Market, and heritage railway events, showing a place that values history and community. Our goal is simple: to help you stay informed about what’s happening locally, week by week. We cover the events and occasions that matter to people here, the things that connect neighbourhoods and give you reasons to explore. Whether it’s a workshop, a market day, or a festival, The City Brief will bring Scarborough’s events to your attention. There's a lot happening in town, and we're here to make sure you know about it.
