Enjoy a brand new drone display at Scarborough Castle, commissioned especially for Scarborough Lights, taking place over five nights between 19-23 November.
Take a journey round Scarborough with Thomasin Farrer and some local schoolchildren as we approach the 400th anniversary of the town. It is also a unique chance to see the special Scarborough Castle illuminations up close.
The display is produced by Flight Shows, one of the UK's leading drone show companies. The accompanying text is written by Stephen Joseph Theatre's Nick Lane, soundscape, sound design and recording by Ernie Acquah, with the voices of Georgie Samuels and members of The Stephen Joseph Theatre's Young Company.
There will be fire, light and music performances before the show, so you are in for a real treat.
There will also be food and drink stalls available.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- This event is subject to suitable weather conditions and shows may be cancelled at short notice. Please check the Scarborough Fair website, social media or your email inbox BEFORE heading to the Castle. If any evening is cancelled, you may have the option to transfer to another evening, or to provisional dates of the 24th and 25th November, subject to availability. We will notify you.
- We recommend that you do not drive to the event as the roads and car parks in the immediate area will likely be extremely busy.
- Please do NOT bring your dog to the event.
- The full display is ONLY viewable from Scarborough Castle.
- Please wear sensible footwear – wellies or walking boots – as the ground may be wet underfoot, and wrap up warm with hat, gloves and a waterproof coat.
Scarborough Castle will be open from 5pm with the display due to start approximately an hour after site opening. The display will run for approximately 12 minutes. The event will conclude by 7.30pm.
Be ready to show your ticket confirmation at the gate on arrival and be aware that there will be bag searches, so pack light.
With thanks to English Heritage for their kind support for this event.
