The changing face of Scarborough

Acronym alert! As the current government slices up the country into LEPs (that’s Local Enterprise Partnerships) and scrap the RDA’s (Regional Development Agencies – ours was Yorkshire Forward) it’s a good time for towns and cities in the region to look back at how they’ve spent the big pots of regeneration money that YF dished out, because that kind of cash is going to be thin on the ground for the next few years.

YF called it ‘Renaissance’, here in Scarborough we never quite settled on a name for it (’Town Team’, ‘Scarborough’s Future’ and ‘Renaissance’ were all interchangeable) but in a nutshell (or should that be seashell?) it was the people of the town getting a genuine say in how regeneration money should be spent.

Half-term fossil fun for families with Scarborough Museums Trust

YOUNGSTERS in Scarborough can enjoy an action packed half-term – thanks to Scarborough Museums Trust.

It is offering a number of fun activities which are free for under 18s and part of a special offer giving people in the town a two-for-one deal on attractions.

The fun begins with The Big Fossil Drawer workshop on Saturday from 11am to 4pm at the The Rotunda, The William Smith Museum of Geology.

Part of The Campaign for Drawing's Big Draw, the workshop gives youngsters the chance to produce a large scale drawer full of fossils.

The week also includes Dinosaur hunting with three fossil hunts on Sunday, Monday and next Tuesday.

Groups for the hunt meet at Reighton Sands Holiday Park at 1pm on Sunday, with meetings at the slipway to the beach at Sandsend at 1.30pm on Monday and and the slipway to the beach at Runswick Bay on Tuesday at 2pm.

Each fossil hunt lasts around two hours.

Scarborough's famous ancestor Gristhorpe Man will be providing an insight into the Bronze Age next Wednesday, October 28. The Bringing Bronze to Life workshop will be offering children the chance to work with artefacts buried with Gristhorpe Man to find out more about forensic science and the workshop starts at 11am at The Rotunda and runs until 4pm.

Scarborough Art Gallery is holding a workshop investigating the language of the fan and will give participants the chance to produce two self portraits for their very own fan on Thursday October 29 from 11am to 4pm.

The week is guaranteed to end on a spooky note at the Art Gallery on Saturday October 31 as youngsters can create their own Halloween masks, with children who go in fancy dress getting a tricky treat.
