Black Spot curse at Pirate Adventure Mini Golf

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

This week-end Pirate Adventure Mini Golf at Scarborough Sea Life Centre will be offering treasure for bearers of the Black Spot Curse.

 All golfers will have the opportunity to take part in a unique black spot game during the last Whitsun holiday week-end.

 Black cards will be placed around the 12-hole golf course for players to seek out and rearrange in order to uncover the name of a famous pirate.

 At the end of the game, successful players will be handed a gold coin and since their curse will be officially undone they will not have to walk the plank!

 For greedier pirates who jump aboard wearing an item of black clothing and who acknowledge the staff with ‘Ahoy Shipmate, Give me me gold!’ a second piece of gold will be handed over - a must for any true buccaneer. 

 The black spot is a death threat created by Robert Louis Stevenson in Treasure Island. The black spot was usually a card with a black spot at the front and more detail about the pirate’s sentence at the back.

New line-up revealed for Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre

DAME Kiri Te Kan-awa will be returning to the Open Air Theatre this summer, it has been revealed.

The announcement was made at the venue yesterday by operators Apollo Leisure and Resorts Scarborough when they outlined three major events for the summer season.

The international opera star will be performing as part of the Last Night At The Proms on Sunday August 28 – with more names expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Sam Shrouder, a spokesman for Wychwood festivals – the company appointed by Apollo to manage the Scarborough site – said: “We are talking to a couple of other acts that may come here, but nothing is guaranteed yet.”

In addition to August’s operatic event there will be a repeat of last year’s ’80s Rewind event, which will be on Sunday July 24.
