Scalby Fair 2024

SEASON’S GREETINGS FROM SCALBY FAIR!

By

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.

Scalby Fair 2024 was everything anyone could wish for. Hundreds of people, old and young, had a wonderful day out, enjoying our huge range of stalls and the entertainment on offer. From the moment Danny Wilde opened the fair it was clear it was going to be a great day and it got better and better as the sun came out and the crowds arrived.


Our new bigger fair space gave plenty of room for stallholders and entertainers to give of their best. The feedback we have received has been very positive so we look forward to planning 2025 with excitement.
Scalby Fair is run by entirely by volunteers for the benefit of the community. They give their time and skills freely, in the hope that everybody will have a great time. Thank you to all these people who worked so hard – and a big thank you, too, to the people who volunteered just for Fair day itself to help with traffic management, manning the barbecue and other roles. We couldn’t have done it without you.
