Events in Scarborough From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find a range of activities across Scarborough this week, reflecting long-standing traditions and community interests. At Wykeham Lakeside Path, beginners join a fly fishing course teaching rod handling and local ecology, with instruction on sustainable catch practices during daylight hours. Primary school children take part in dance events at Pindar Leisure Centre, where movement sessions combine rhythm-based activities with storytelling inspired by maritime history. Craft workshops run weekly at The Rotunda Museum, focusing this week on creating felt pennants using locally sourced wool dyed in natural pigments; participants learn about the historical significance of flags and textiles in coastal settlements since Anglo-Saxon times. Live music remains a key feature: tribute acts honoring Elvis Presley perform twice nightly near Webb Ellis Court, while local Ska Punk bands take stage at pubs along Church Street and South Bay Parade. The annual Scarborough Craft Fair returns this week in the courtyard of Webb Ellis Court, showcasing handmade ceramics and textiles made by residents using reclaimed materials like driftwood or recycled fishing net fibers. Quiet gatherings occur across town: mental health support groups meet at St Mary’s Community Hall on Mondays, and food-focused socials celebrate local producers near North Bay Railway Platform, where open top bus services run directly into the city centre. These events reflect Scarborough's enduring character, a place shaped by sea and rail, with civic life sustained through shared spaces rather than spectacle. Check listings below for times and venues.
