This exhibition celebrates the history of entertainment in Scarborough.

Display panels featuring maps, postcards, and memorabilia chart the growth of music halls, dance halls, theatres and cinemas following the arrival of the railway and the towns rapid expansion as a holiday. Some remain today and have reinvented themselves for the new generation of holiday makers, whilst others lasted for just a few short years before falling into disrepair and ultimately being demolished.

This exhibition has been made possible with the generous support of Adrian Spawforth, The Parcels Office Artspace, Arts Council England and Spawforths Architects and Planners.
