Scarborough Sparkle returns to the Scarborough Open Air Theatre from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 November 2025, offering families a magical way to begin the festive season. This much-loved event is filled with twinkling lights, festive stalls, and joyful entertainment — the perfect way to kick off Christmas.

Enjoy the lantern parade, browse the festive market for handmade gifts and treats, and soak up the atmosphere with mulled wine and hot chocolate in the cosy tipi. Families can enjoy fairground rides, live music from Backchat Brass Band and local choirs, plus appearances from the Snow Sisters and a mischievous green Christmas guest!

Highlights include a snow machine, Santa’s sleigh, a sparkling Christmas tree, and plenty of festive fun for all ages. Entry is free, and a shuttle bus will run from Eastfield through the town centre to Peasholm Park on Saturday and Sunday.
