Mr Kipling Festive Bakewell Tarts, 6 each

Product Information

The Christmas light tradition began in 1963 when a local artist placed a string of lights along the quay at Christmas to make the village more welcoming and attractive. This ritual has grown year on year and now the spectacular showing of lights displays local foodie delicacies, sea serpents and sailboats to name just a few of the installations. The lights stay on from 5pm to 10pm and only get turned off on the 19 th in memory of the Solomon Browne disaster. There’s also an annual Boxing Day BBQ with live music, mulled wine and a treasure hunt, while the fancy dress New Year’s Eve celebrations are also worth a visit. Not only are there mesmeric coastal walks to enjoy with your family and friends (walks that take on a renewed beauty during the frost-covered season of winter), but the Scarborough Fair programme sees a number of light shows taking place throughout the town. Winter breaks are full of relaxed evenings, fresh mornings and frosty walks, with great things to do and local food to savour. It's a season that lets you see places in a new light and offers new experiences that you just can't enjoy at any other time of year - not to mention the huge variety of magical Christmas activities and events throughout December. Stationery: Beautifully designed diaries, calendars and cards can be found, many of them featuring local landscapes and landmarks.

There will be something for all ages to enjoy and interact with and the comments from the Festival last year were very positive and I know many people are looking forward to the Festival this year.
