Looking back to the bygone days of seaside heritage, and celebrating Scarborough 400, we are holding a sandcastle building competition on Scarborough's South Bay. The aim is to achieve 400 sandcastles built in two hours.

People are invited to come along to Scarborough's South Bay to build one of 400 sandcastles, to mark 400 years since Scarborough's spa waters were discovered, leading it to become a seaside resort. Prizes will be given for the best sandcastle. Open to everyone, of all ages. Bring your own buckets and spades, pick up a numbered flag (1-400) and you are all set.
