Today the Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre reopened its door after 6 months of lockdown.

The town crier gave a loud address to everyone on Eastborough and highlighted his delight at the artefacts on display that belonged to the previous town crier, Alan Booth MBE.

Chairman, Mark Vesey, said: "We are delighted to be able to reopen and welcome back our volunteers and the public. We have a brand new exhibition about Scarborough during the Victorian era as well as the town crier's artefacts donated earlier this year".

The Maritime Centre celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2019 and has welcomed over 50,000 visitors. Exhibitions change on a regular basis and there is a reading and research area for use by the public. Opening times are 11am to 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday and entrance is free.
