WE’VE CREATED 10 DIGITAL TRAILS TO WORK ALONGSIDE THE INFORMATION ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE SCARBOROUGH ILLUSTRATED MAP.
The Trails are: Where to Park, Independent Shops, Retro Seaside Experience, Artists & Makers, Amazing Buildings, Antiques & Vintage, Craft Ale, Maritime Heritage, Dog Friendly Places and Places of Worship.
Look out for the QR codes on posters, in shop and local building windows.
We have produced a beautifully designed map of Scarborough. Illustrated by local artist Hannah Grahamslaw, it includes lots of information for visitors and locals alike. See if you can spot your favourite place.
We have analysed data on Scarborough to create an overview of footfall, visitor numbers, demographic of residents and visitors, crime rates, water quality and more. We believe this data to be important to build a true picture of Scarborough and inform decisions made around investment and business development, and to help steer social projects.
We are working with Scarborough Studios to bring a new Artisan and Antiques Market to Scarborough. It is to highlight our incredible creative communities and independent traders, plus to help promote the wonderful Scarborough Market Hall.
Scarborough Coble Market brings together a carefully curated mix of artists, antique dealers, makers, craftspeople and artisans in a vibrant new event on St Helen’s Square, opposite the Market Hall & Vaults.
Taking its name from the iconic Coble boat that symbolises Scarborough’s fishing heritage, the Coble Market also includes street food, live music and programmed moments throughout the day, turning the cobbled square into a lively, social place to meet friends, browse and enjoy.
Every second Sunday of every month from 9.00 am until 3.00 pm. With around 100 stalls outside and under cover, whatever the weather, good coffee, great food and entertainment guaranteed. SEE YOU THERE!

This is Scarborough will be publishing a new, independent guide to Scarborough in March 2026 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of The Spa. With over 150 pages of content, The Locals’ Guide will be packed with ideas for things to do, illustrations and great photos: the perfect resource to try out new experiences, tours and stuff to do in and around Scarborough whatever time of year that you visit. If you want to have the chance to order a preview edition, just email info@thisisscarborough.org.uk and we will get in touch.
The This Is Scarborough brand was originally developed by Scarborough Borough Council and subsequently by North Yorkshire Council, Scarborough Business Ambassadors and the Town Centre Team. As a newly formed organisation we are working in collaboration with all groups and the local authority to develop the brand further and progress the development of Scarborough’s town centre.
The initial brand was developed for the public sector by Creative Concern working in partnership with local design agency Marson & Co.
