Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year from Scalby Fair
This year we held the biggest Scalby Fair ever. The event space was expanded so that it was completely pedestrianised. There were more stalls than ever, and for the first time some food trucks to compliment our own traditional BBQ. We were able to expand the entertainment offering to a second stage. Blessed with good weather the Fair attracted large crowds who have given us enthusiastic feedback. We were able to donate a four-figure sum to local charities.
None of this would have been possible without a great deal of hard work. I would like to thank our loyal stallholders who provide the bedrock of the Fair and are essential to attracting a great crowd. The expansion of the Fair meant that we needed more volunteers than ever. Whether they were grilling burgers, directing traffic, emptying bins or shaking collecting buckets our volunteer team were always cheerful and were critical to the great atmosphere at the Fair. We have a superb committee without which none of this would be possible. Much of their work goes unseen but without them there would be no event.
Thank you to everybody who made the 2024 Fair such a success.
We are already planning for the 2025 Scalby Fair which will be held between Friday 13 June and Sunday 22 June. Fair Day will be on Saturday 22 June. We have looked back at 2024 and aim to make the 2025 Fair the biggest and best ever. We will develop the entertainment offering, make tweaks to the layout so that circulation is easier, and attract more stalls. Old favourites like the fancy dress parade will return all around the theme of superheroes. I urge you to support the 2025 Scalby Fair which is such a bedrock of our community. Details of the Fair, stall booking, and other events will be available early in the New Year on our website https://scalbyfair.org.uk or via our social media on Facebook and in the New Year Instagram.
Earlier in the Year on Easter Monday almost 200 people and one goat entered Scalby Walk despite some poor weather. A great time was had by all and £2,500 was raised for local charities. Look out for the Easter Bunny announcing details of the 2025 Walk to be held on Easter Monday, 21 April.
