Scarborough's Community Fair is set to make a return this year.

The town's Cavaliers Rotary are hoping it will be bigger and better after the event could not be held last year due to the pandemic.

This year it will take place on the 14th of August along Westborough and the organisation is looking to attract new stall holders.

Its President, Andrew Green, said:

“We are delighted to be able to bring the Fair back to Westborough and very pleased that the Council has given us their full support.

“We feel that this year’s Fair will give local charities and voluntary organisations a great opportunity to relaunch themselves after the challenges of the pandemic."

Any local charity or voluntary organisation interested in taking a stall at the fair can email Scarborough.Cavaliers@gmail.com

Due to financial support from the Yorkshire Coast BID, stallholders will only have to pay £10 for a table, with double tables at £20.

This year the Rotary Club are also looking to build on the success of previous years, thanks to the support of the BID by providing street entertainment as an added bonus for shoppers.

The Mayor has been invited to judge the “best dressed stall”, which gives the stallholders the opportunity to be creative and inventive with their table displays.

Organisers say it is always a real treat on the day to see what the stallholders do to attract visitors to their stalls from tombolas, raffles, to colourful cakes and marmalades.

It added that several stallholders also appear in themed fancy dress that adds to the entertainment and the spectacle.

The Rotary members will have a stall selling plants and other items to raise funds for its chosen local charities.
