At its meeting on Sunday, 6 February, the Scalby Fair Committee decided on the theme for our Fair events for 2022.
The theme is:
A Celebration of 70 Glorious Years!
Not only do we celebrate 70 years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign this year, but we also recognise that Scalby Fair began out of a celebration for the Queen’s Jubilee 45 years ago in 1977.
Pre-registration has now closed – at 5pm on Sunday, 17 April. Registration and entry on Easter Monday is from 9.30am at the Plough, Scalby and is £12.00 (Adult) and £6.00 (Junior).
Please bring cash along on Easter Monday for your entry.
We look forward to seeing you.
About the Walk
Since 1959 the annual Scalby Walk has been raising money for local charities. What started out as a local bet has become a regular feature on the Scalby calendar every Easter Monday (well almost!).
2022 sees the return of the Walk, and the rules are simple:
Starting off at the Plough Inn, Scalby, at staggered start times from 10.30 am, each entrant must complete a 7 mile route by walking only – that means no running!
Download or view the Entry Rules and Regulations for the Original Scalby Walk below.
Download or view the Entry Rules and Regulations for the Family/Fun Walk below.
A half pint (lager, bitter, or squash) must be drunk in each of the pubs on route (your drink is included in the entrance fee) in the following order:
A map of the route can be viewed or downloaded below.
Trophies can be won for the first person back (male, female & oldest) and the fastest walker (male, female & oldest), but disqualification looms if you don’t drink the half pints at each stop, or if you are caught running! Prize giving is at 4.00 pm.
A family-friendly route is available which uses the Cinder Track route from the Oak Wheel, and avoids the section of the coastal road where the traffic can be busier.
Many walkers take part in fancy dress, which is optional, and prizes can be won for the best fancy dress and it all adds to the fun of the occasion. You can take the walk seriously and go for a competitive time, or just enjoy the walk with a few drinks along the way.
You can help support our nominated charity by getting sponsored. Over the years we have helped raise thousands of pounds to good causes. In 2022 we are supporting ‘Super Brad’s Pad’ holiday home for sick children which is been built in Scarborough by the Bradley Lowery Foundation.

Pre-registration closed at 5pm on Sunday, 17 April. You can register and enter on the day of the Walk from 9.30am at the Plough, Scalby and entry is £12.00 (Adult) and £6.00 (Junior).)
Please remember to bring cash with you on Easter Monday for your entry payment.
Scalby Walk is set for Easter Monday, 18 April 2022.
This will be the 61st Scalby Walk and it will include all the traditional items such as walking and visiting local hostelries on the route.
Please look out for further announcements, coming soon.
