A Busy Launch Party -Now Let’s get Ready for Easter Monday’s Charity Walk.

By

You will be seeing a lot more of the Scalby Fair Easter Bunny. He enjoys a good walk too! Make sure you register to be part of Scalby Fair Charity Walk.

Our Scalby Fair Charity Walk committee certainly raised awareness of this great event with their Launch Party at the Plough on Saturday. The bar was full of families and individuals who tasted the walk’s signature cocktail, ate the special cupcakes and entered competitions. Best of all we started our fundraising for the walk’s charities with a bang!

Don’t Miss this Brand New Event from Scalby Fair

Beat the Winter Blues. Welcome the Spring.

Over the next few weeks the Easter Bunny will be limbering up for the annual Easter Monday Scalby Fair Charity walk and you will see his picture at many of the locations on the route on this website and Facebook and Instagram. Why not join him at The Plough on Scalby High Street for his fabulous launch party? It will be lots of fun for adults and children alike and, most importantly, a chance to register early for the walk itself which takes place on Monday 21st April.

Put it in your diaries so that you don’t forget!

Come and Hear Some Great Stories!

Monday 24th February at 7pm in the Nag’s Head

An Evening by the Fireside With Geoff and Jean Dove.

Scalby Fair is so lucky to have on its committee Geoff Dove one of its founding members in 1977. In that time he and his wife Jean have gathered a fund of anecdotes about the fair and its characters. Why not join us to hear their stories both funny and about the more serious side of planning and running such a popular local event? They are both great story tellers and know so much about Newby and Scalby in general and Scalby Fair in particular. There is no charge for this enjoyable event.
