Events in Scarborough From 20th July – 26th July 2026

This week in Scarborough offers plenty to do, with a focus on live entertainment and culture. You can expect a strong line-up of musical performances, featuring both established artists and tribute shows celebrating music legends. Several pubs near the seafront and in the town centre regularly host live bands, giving you diverse evening options. Consider an evening at Scarborough Spa, which often hosts musical acts and theatrical productions.

Beyond the music, you'll also find interesting performing arts events. Look out for dramatic works performed outdoors, perhaps near Scarborough Castle. Also, explore unique audio installations that share local stories and celebrate remarkable people, offering a more intimate look at the town’s creative side. These installations draw on Scarborough’s history, dating back to Anglo-Saxon times and its time as a parliamentary constituency. For family entertainment, keep an eye out for suitable events and playgrounds.

Whether you prefer live music or a quieter artistic experience, you’ve got plenty of choices. Check the listings below for times and venues. The North Bay Railway offers a unique experience with coastal views. Remember to factor in potential travel difficulties, such as parking near the seafront at high tide, and use the direct railway station for convenient access.

Don’t overlook the cycling routes and footpaths for a different perspective on Scarborough.
