There will be free time for you to enjoy your own lunch. Bring a picnic or grab some food from the many outlets near the Toll House at Scarborough Harbour, before your complimentary ride on an Open Top Bus to North Bay.

Scarborough’s Brunswick Centre will officially close to the public on 17 September 2025. This marks a major milestone in Scarborough Group's plans to redevelop the site into SQ1, a vibrant new town centre destination. The closure includes the multi-storey car park and public conveniences, as the building will no longer be accessible while preparatory works for redevelopment are underway. Signage will be in place to direct visitors to alternative nearby facilities, including parking at Falconers Road, St Nicholas Parade, and The Palm Court, and public toilets on Foreshore Road. The Brunswick Centre has been a familiar presence in Scarborough’s town centre for more than three decades. Its closure marks an important step toward major new investment in the town, making way for SQ1, a new destination shaped by Scarborough’s character and future ambitions. The redevelopment will attract more visitors and deliver long-term benefits for local people, businesses and the wider community. The closure aligns with the end of the service charge year and follows a period of gradual wind-down, during which they have supported a planned transition by allowing leases to naturally expire and offering flexibility to our longer-term tenants. Many occupiers, including The Fragrance Shop, Holland & Barrett, Toyland and Nomination, have successfully relocated within Scarborough, helping to retain popular brands locally and breathe new life into previously vacant units. The company say they are also pleased that Next is relocating to a larger store on Seamer Road. All tenants have received appropriate notice and support from the company throughout the process. While no businesses within the Brunswick Centre will remain open during construction, Poundland, which is located in a separate building, will continue to trade as normal. Scarborough Group are proud to be leading the redevelopment as part of a broader programme of long-term investment in the town. Mark Jackson, Project Lead said: “The closure of Brunswick is a major step forward, not just for the project, but for the wider regeneration of Scarborough. While change can be disruptive in the short term, this marks the start of a much-needed transformation that will help the town centre match the strength of its visitor appeal. “Scarborough already attracts over 23 million visits a year and outperforms major cities in dwell time and year-round tourism. The challenge has been keeping people in the town centre for longer, and that’s what SQ1 will help deliver. “This is about more than buildings. It’s about reimagining the heart of the town and creating a place where people want to spend time, whether they live here, work here or are visiting for the first time.” For updates, follow @SQ1scarb on social media.
