Hey Scarborough! Here's what's happening this week 👋
This week's lineup is pure excitement - and a little spooky too. Saturday the 25th is shaping up to be the night out of the season, with Tamby's Bar & Snooker Club throwing open its doors and The Big Ghost Giveaway sending thrill-seekers on a haunting hunt across town.
Over in Filey, council drama has everyone talking after an unprecedented wave of resignations, while Whitby keeps spirits high (literally) with distillery tours and tastings.
And if you're craving a calmer escape, Humble Bee Farm's Halloween glamping event has your name on it.
There's plenty more where that came from - dive into this week's highlights below!
