On Scalby Fair Day, please visit the Scalby Artists’ Courtyard Exhibition 2023
Painters Jessica Cathcart, Speth Milnes & Judith Ellis, along with Printmaker Michael Atkin, will be staging a courtyard exhibition during Scalby Fair Day at Byways on Low Street.
You can also visit the workshop which is home to four antique printing presses from the 19th century. The oldest press dates from 1832 and the youngest from 1889.

The Walk was a huge success in many ways. There were 250 walkers, a major increase on last year’s record of 161. There was also a record entry of 35 dogs who all behaved perfectly and enjoyed the free treats at each pub.
The feedback from the Walk was fantastic as were all the fancy dress outfits. Scalby Walk, as well as being a fun event, is also a walking race. This year the fastest man was local guy Stephen Hopper. The fastest woman was Emma Hopper wife of Stephen. Fastest junior was another local: Samson Grunwell. The oldest walker was 88 and the youngest only 3.
This is a charity walk and this year we raised £2,700 for a fantastic local charity: SPARKS Project. SPARKS is based in Barrowcliff and Eastfield and works with troubled and complex families and individuals facing poverty, social problems, crime, antisocial behaviour, drug & alcohol abuse, domestic violence and a range of mental health issues. Uniquely, SPARKS is there to support when there is a crisis and through life coaching and targeted classes to help these individuals and families manage better.
