Fundraising events

In the light of the current economic climate, organisers of Scarborough's Seafest Maritime Music Festival have announced that they are to hold a series of fundraising events in the town as funding from the Borough Council has been withdrawn. Richard Grainger, co-founder of the event, said: "We know how much the event means to everyone in Scarborough and to the tourism industry and hope that many will rally round and come along to enjoy the music and the fun on offer."

Accommodation

This event does not have camping but there are a number of hotels, hostels and guest houses in the area.
