Great British Summer at Scarborough Castle

Celebrate a classic Great British Summer at Scarborough Castle, inspired by timeless holiday traditions and a fun day out for the whole family.

Enjoy the fairground activities, pick up new tricks at the circus skills station and dive in to some puppet antics. Kick back in a deck chair with a delicious ice cream and soak up the summer.

During your visit, can explore lofty viewing platforms within the Inner Bailey and the Great Tower offering great views over the town, the harbour, and the bay. Leave plenty of time to explore the vast grassy headland – it’s a gigantic wildflower meadow, bigger than 12 football pitches.

On the cliff edge you’ll find the remains of a Roman signal station and an Anglo-Saxon church built on its site. Look out for a striking modern sculpture about climate change, part of the ‘Wild Eye’ art and nature project.
