The “ Galeón Andalucía” will visit Scarborough for 6 days in July and dock at North Wharf Quay. Among its creaking timbers the “Galeón Andalucía” tells the story of the legendary Spanish galleons in times gone by. The visit will coincide with the Seafest maritime festival in Scarborough. You can climb aboard and learn how the adventurous sailors of yesteryear sailed and lived with the ship open to the public from the 17th to 22nd July from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. Visit the floating museum with an exhibition in which you can visit 5 of its decks. The Galeon Andalucia is the replica of the type of vessel used by the Spanish Crown for maritime expeditions during the 16th through the 18th centuries. Galleons were intended to discover and then establish trade routes between Spain, America and the Philippines islands, and formed the then called Fleet of the Indies. With an innovative design at the time, galleons were armed merchant vessels which tonnages ranging from 500 to 1,200, whereas their lengths-over-all would range from 130 to 200 feet. They were designed to cross the largest oceans as efficiently as possible. For three centuries, these Spanish galleons crossed the Atlantic Ocean back and forth, sailed around the Caribbean Sea and the American coasts, and covered the Pacific route as well. They carried plenty of seamen, merchant traders and settlers, while their holds bore the fabulous loads resulting from American and Asian trade. It's recommended the public book their tickets at www.tickets.velacuadra.es so as not to miss this fantastic vessel! Tickets: Adults: £12 / Children (5- 10 years): £6 / £30 Family ( 2 adults + up to 3 children between 5- 10 years). Free for children under 5 years old, who must be accompanied by an adult.

Today Will Young has announced a brand new single, ‘Falling Deep’. This euphoric track is the first single taken from Will’s forthcoming ninth studio album, “Light It Up”, which is out on 9th August. To celebrate this new album, Will has just announced that his is embarking on his most intimate tour yet – taking shape as an up close and personal evening of acoustic performances, stories and conversation. The 50-date UK tour will kick off in September through to November and will be heading to the Spa Theatre on Saturday 12th October 2024. General on-sale begins on Friday 26th April. About the tour, Young says: “I’m very excited to be going to a lot of places I haven’t been. I wanted to go to smaller venues so I could properly get around the country rather than just playing the big cities.” For a performer who thrives on stage, having done eight sold-out national tours and countless festival appearances (he has performed at Glastonbury three times); it feels like he’s hitting a new stride with renewed vigour. “Whatever I do though,” Will said, contemplatively. “I can finally connect to the fun of it all and that is a place I never thought I would get back to so I’ll take it.” “It has been such a tough time and to be out the other side, it is just so exciting to produce a complete pop album. The crafting of pop music can be so fun and the challenge to sing those songs is something I’ve relished.” Will will be bringing his ‘Light It Up Live’ tour to Scarborough Spa on Saturday 12th October 2024.

Since they started releasing records more than thirty years ago, Feeder have never been far from the charts or strangers to the stage. Having sold over 7 million records, they’ve played all over the world, bringing their anthemic rock music to fans old and new, always exhilarating, always celebratory. Tracks like Just The Way I’m Feeling, Buck Rogers, Feeling A Moment, High, Borders, Just a Day, Torpedo and Fear of Flying and Lost and Found are just some of the 26 top 40 chart hits the band have enjoyed over the years along with a double platinum singles collection in 2006. In 2010 the band spent a year getting back to their roots and playing new tracks in clubs under the name Renegades. An album of the same name was then released followed by their eighth studio album, ‘Generation Freakshow’. This album garnered glowing reviews in The Times and The Evening Standard. After a four-year break to pursue solo projects, 2016 saw Feeder release All bright Electric and in 2017 the “Best Of” album which both marked up more Top 10 albums for the band. This was followed by Tallulah and most recently Torpedo, both Top 5 albums. 2024 sees the band ready to reclaim their position as one of the biggest and best British rock bands. Join them as they head to Scarborough Spa on Friday 26th July 2024, tickets on sale this Friday RIGHT HERE!

From North Yorkshire Council: A free three-day festival will be staged in Scarborough next month as part of efforts to bring a more diverse range of visitors to the North Yorkshire coast during the main tourism season. Scarborough Streets will involve outdoor performances, events, workshops, murals and more on the Bank Holiday weekend, May 4 to 6. Organised by ourselves, the festival aims to inspire, celebrate and showcase local creativity, while also featuring national and international artists. Throughout the weekend there will be a variety of street performances, from circus acts and puppetry to dance and theatre with the town’s streets jam-packed with entertainment. Scarborough Streets is one of several high-profile events lined up for the town this year, as part of the Scarborough Fair Festival, including Scarborough Fringe in June and Scarborough Art which runs from the middle of June into early August. Assistant director for culture and leisure, Jo Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be able to bring this free event to Scarborough. “Following on from Scarborough Lights, this latest event is part of our plan to place the town at the heart of the cultural and artistic calendar. “It is about bringing the arts to the people and making them accessible for all. We have a wealth of talent in North Yorkshire and combining this with some of the best national and international acts will make for an unmissable experience.” The over-arching Scarborough Fair initiative, which takes its name from the event that was last held in the 18th century, is being revived as a year-round programme of arts, heritage, music and sports events and is expected to run until 2026. The cultural project is aiming to help boost North Yorkshire’s tourism industry, which is worth £1.5 billion a year in the spend from domestic visitors. It accounts for 11 per cent of the county’s overall economy, and 41,200 workers are employed in the sector. Head of tourism, Gemma Rio, added: “Scarborough Fair is aimed at showcasing what is one of our most popular destinations to an even wider audience. “The series of events that are being staged over the summer months provide new and exciting opportunities to help build on Scarborough’s huge appeal. “It is hoped that more people will come to visit the town over the coming months to enjoy what is on offer, and also help to support the local economy.” Stand-out performers at Scarborough Streets include Phileas Fogg, who will wow visitors with their hilarious roving performance fusing modern technology and the classic Jules Verne novel, Around the World in Eighty Days, and Beetlebug, a talented musician with more than 100,000 followers on social media. On Bank Holiday Monday, there will be a walkabout parade led by Animated Objects. They will be joined by many of the acts and those who have attended workshops over the weekend. Elsewhere, two audio trails have been created called What the Sea Saw and the Wilfred Owen Walk. The first reflects on the town’s fishing heritage from the 1950s up to the present day, while the latter follows in the footsteps of the famous English war poet who spent time in the town and includes excerpts from his work. Outdoor murals will also appear across the town, including a stylised map of Scarborough opposite the railway station and a piece entitled Celebrating Diversity at the Falsgrave Community Resource Centre, Seamer Road. A third mural, known as the Limonade Mural Project, will feature at Big Maya’s Jerk Chicken on Hoxton Road and a piece by Turn Up The Colour, called We See With Our Hearts Not Our Eyes, will be at Yorkshire Coast Sight Support on Dean Road. One of the organisations taking part in the festival is inkahoots!, a community interest company based in the town. They will be performing pieces created as part of The Brave Project, an initiative funded in part by the Children and Young People’s Dance Network North. Director of inkahoots!, Clare Maxwell, said: “Scarborough has always been a hive of cultural activity without being acknowledged as such. “Thanks to Scarborough Streets, we can now shout loudly and proudly about the creativity, artistry, talent and diversity that thrives in the town. “We are really looking forward to the festival and our young performers can’t wait to show just what they have to offer.” The Brave Project is designed to encourage boys and young men to explore their physical, expressive and creative capabilities through dance, sport, martial arts and physical theatre. Underpinning the whole project are messages promoting positive mental health and emotional wellbeing. Clare said: “We now have a great core group of boys aged between 16 and 24 and hope that our involvement in Scarborough Streets and then Scarborough Fringe will encourage even more to join.” Scarborough Fringe, which runs between June 21 and 30, is the first such event to be held in the town and will feature theatre, music, comedy, spoken word, children’s shows and a variety of other events and performances. Scarborough Art, meanwhile, will be held between June 15 and August 4 and is an exciting combination of exhibitions and workshops taking place at various venues across Scarborough and beyond.
