Cricketing Legend Geoffrey Boycott will reflect on his career as part of the 40th anniversary of his 100th Hundred and the heroic Yorkshire Rows will share their tales of heroic endeavour as part of this year’s Books By The Beach Festival. The Scarborough Spa Orchestra return for their 105th year on 5 June and we raise the curtain for the first of our summer shows in late May when due to demand we will once again be taking trips to the West End and Broadway via Hollywood with Movies Meets The Musicals: Take Two! Add to all this Tattoo and Sci Fi conventions, the national Scooter Rally, regular dance events and the UK’s premier comedy family drag variety show-there really is something for everyone.
