Things to Do

The Yorkshire Coast is full of great things to do and see and this is our place to share what we all love about living here.

Race the Waves – Bridlington 2022

Race the Waves – Bridlington 2022

Race the Waves at Bridlington is the brainchild of Paul Garbutt, who had previously produced classic motorcycle social gatherings under his event name BACKFIRE Feel the Noise... Paul inspired by the world famous (TROG) "The Race of Gentleman" which has been held annually since 2012 on the Wildwoods beach in New Jersey USA, contacted Joe the "Staging Boss" which is the person who brings the vehicles to the start line, to help aid the formula which Paul wished to create for Race the Waves in Bridlington. Paul had many calls with Joe who tragically passed away in 2019 but will…

The Yorkshire Coast Celebrates the Platinum Jubilee

If not then have no fear the Yorkshire Coast has a host of events you can get involved with. There are far too many to name but here are a few for starters.

The Forum: A Premier Entertainment Venue on the Yorkshire Coast

The Forum: A Premier Entertainment Venue on the Yorkshire Coast

I must confess I thought I knew all that The Forum had to offer - I've visited the Cinema often and been tempted by a round of 10-pin-bowling a time or two. The Lodge Restaurant looks pretty tempting as well. But it was only after meeting John and Danny, the managers of the complex that I really took in all that this amazing venue has to offer. A family could quite easily spend a whole day here - its the perfect all-weather, all-age entertainment venue. Let's start with the Cinema, there's three screens - it's the only multi-screen cinema on…

7 Uplifting things to do in May.

7 Uplifting things to do in May.

Writing a letterWriting a letter - some might say is a lost art thanks to social media but it is still favoured by many and is an excellent way of letting someone know you are thinking of them. The act of taking your time to sit and write to a friend is not only therapeutic for yourself - but it will also mean so much to the receiver too. There are so many places now to find beautiful, writing paper. We love the writing paper at WHSmith not only do they sell writing pads for all your doodles you can…

Get Motivated to Get Out There

Get Motivated to Get Out There

I don’t think there can be many of us that don’t desire to be more active and enjoy the great outdoors more – is there? It's often said that we are so fortunate living on our amazing Yorkshire Coast but how many of us take it for granted? Sometimes the beauty on our doorstep can be overlooked - when was the last time you actually got out there and explored somewhere new right here on your doorstep? If you’re nodding in agreement at this point – then maybe what you need is a little extra motivation to help you get…

Embracing the breeze with a brew!

Embracing the breeze with a brew!

When you live on the Yorkshire Coast, you quickly develop a bit of "hardiness", pre-braced to not just handle, but love, the ever-changing weather. Even on the most bitter of winter days, you'll see people walking dogs, going for a run and surprisingly, sitting outside for a coffee! I love nothing more than being dragged across the beach by the dogs, but it's for a very selfish reason... there are many good hot chocolate spots to reward me with after the dog are tired out! https://player.vimeo.com/video/679210085?h=63c12d8fec&badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479 Now, it's not for everyone, and you do need to develop some pretty good…

Sewing the seeds of an epic adventure

Sewing the seeds of an epic adventure

It feels like a long time now since I was out on the bitingly cold day in Scarborough, listening to The Odyssey on a walk throughout the seafront, but it is a memory that has stuck with me. Something about listening to this epic tale told by people from the area resonated with me, and I've been following the story, eagerly awaiting the next instalment. Thankfully, I didn't need to wait too long, so when I saw the next part, "The Trojan Wars", advertised, I put it straight in the diary. It was well worth the trip out to the…

Top Show Picks for the Yorkshire Coast

Top Show Picks for the Yorkshire Coast

One of the huge advantages for us living on the Yorkshire Coast is the amazing variety of shows and events that we can take advantage of. Although we live in small towns - which anywhere else in the country would be lucky to even have a decent theatre - we can take our pick of great venues. Probably many of us take this variety of entertainment for granted - ok so its mainly just in the summer months but I really do think we have the best of both worlds. We have all the advantages of a small town -…
