Coastival puts area on the map

MUSIC, light, lanterns and gigantic creatures from the darkest of prehistoric ages got the weekend’s Coastival arts event off to an eye-catching start.

And with top acts such as The Levellers and comedians Jon Richardson and Shappi Khorsandi, organisers were hoping to build on the success of the original event two years ago.

Festival organiser Wendy Clews said that she was impressed with the opening parade which was a “breathtaking” sight.

She said: “So many children and their families were there and The Levellers was a brilliant gig to kick things off.

“It’s the first gig they’ve done this year and they were quite nervous about it doing those songs for the first time. They were excited and a bit nervous.

“They had a great time and they said that they definitely want to come back to Scarborough on their next tour.”

Wendy added that the festival was a “bit different” and organisers had tried to develop it from lessons learned during the first one in 2009.

Rotunda Celebrate's 180th Birthday

Museum

It's a roaring hit!

 

FUN featuring fossils took pride of place at the celebrations for Scarborough's Rotunda Museum's 180th birthday.


Visitors from all over the north took part in the celebrations – with activities including arts and crafts, face painting and balloon sculptures.

 

The Rotunda Museum, described as the finest surviving purpose-built museum of its age in the country, was built in 1829 to a design suggested by William Smith, the "Father of English Geology" who came to Scarborough after his release from debtors' prison.
