Councillors have been discussing the future for Scarborough's Open Air Theatre.
We told you last week that the attraction had enjoyed record-breaking ticket sales in 2024.
Councillor David Jeffels is delighted about that and wondered what other positives the venue could generate for the area:
North Yorkshire Council's Head Of Venues- Stuart Clark- has been thinking about future plans for the theatre- including adding a roof and using it for things other than concerts:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
