This is Scarborough celebrates everything that IS Scarborough, focusing on the town centre and on the town as a location for growing businesses, its University campus, schools, colleges and health facilities.

 
Scarborough is much more than an outstanding seaside destination. As a community of 61,000 residents, it has amazing businesses, extraordinary cultural and heritage organisations and a vibrant high street with a diverse range of independent businesses as well as many household names.
