Despite supporting NUFCW for a number of years, this was the first season we were able to go ‘all in’ (mostly thanks to a reduction in weekend work commitments and that our kids have grown up and do their own thing on weekends so we have much more free time).
As always, please make sure you check with venues direct for up-to-date details including dates and timings before heading out as these are subject to change.

Everyone has one book that they read at school that stays with them forever right? Well for me, this book is Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. It was my GCSE text way back in the year 2000 and up until then I was very much a Babysitters Club / Sweet Valley High / Point Horror kind of gal and had never read anything quite like this. It was a book that had real meaning to it and literally sweeps you away to another time and place whilst raising issues that are still prevalent today.

We love a trip to Scarborough. North Bay is traditionally known as the ‘quiet end’ of the town although I’m not sure why as there is plenty going on.
You can easily spend a full day in this section alone or walk through the town (or catch an Open Top Bus) to South Bay where you’ll find amusements, bars, restaurants, a fairground, bowling, boat trips, fishing, shops and more.
Sunday 9 August 2026. Building will take place from 2.30pm The Grand Fall will take place at 4:30pm and will be a spectacle like no other seen in our city.
