New to Scarborough Lights 2024, South Cliff Fire Garden is a must-see! See Scarborough’s Victorian Rose Garden transform into an enchanting display of fire and light. The garden will be aglow with 255 candles and will also feature live fire performances, Moroccan lanterns, kaleidoscope lights and a star walk – a magical evening for all. Food and drink will also be available, the perfect accompaniment to a crisp evening walk.

Brought to you by the creators of the fire gardens at Blenheim Palace, Kew Gardens, Hampton Court and events across the world.

From 1 – 24 December windows across streets and neighbourhoods in Scarborough will be illuminated with festive creations. In true advent style fashion, a different street will be “opened” each evening at 4pm (some streets may vary).

Throughout Scarborough Lights, St Mary’s historic church exterior will be illuminated. The church is situated at the top of Castle Road and has an amazing view of Scarborough South Bay.

Between 5 – 14 December, The Aquarium of Light transforms the bandstand at the beautiful Sun Court at the Scarborough Spa into a community light installation with themes from the sea.

The Scarborough Fair is a year-round programme of distinctive arts, heritage and sporting events at venues across the town. Made possible with investment from the UK government’s Town Deals funding, The Scarborough Fair is a project of North Yorkshire Council, working in partnership with the public and private sectors and initiated following extensive consultation with local residents, businesses and community organisations.
