Scalby Folk Weekend 2021

8 April 2021 By Developer

Scalby Folk Weekend this year will take place 3, 4 and 5 September 2021 at the Nag’s Head, Scalby, YO13 0PT.

We have already staged three very successful weekends and have managed to raise over £6,000 for Martin House Children’s Hospice and St Catherine’s Hospice. This year our choice of charity will be St Catherine’s Hospice.

We will be producing a high program with a full page dedicated to each guest. In the past three years we have been lucky to be able to host an excellent guest line up for no performance fee. This year will follow the same model.

Our aim is to enjoy a few of days of excellent music, help to promote new artists and raise much needed money for worthwhile causes.

This year will not only feature excellent music but also have a good selection of craft beers, ciders and freshly cooked food. We will also be putting on open sessions and various workshops.

Current Covid guidelines will be rigorously observed.

Kind regards

The Nags Head Team @SFW 2021

All surplus proceeds to be donated to St Catherine’s Hospice.

Christmas Greetings from Scalby Fair

7 December 2020 By Developer

Hello everyone,

Soon we will be saying “Goodbye” to 2020 and probably “Good Riddance“!
What an awful year it has been! Having to cancel the traditional Scalby Easter Monday Walk was painful. Having to cancel Scalby Fair in June was a catastrophe!! That has never happened before to the Fair going back more than 40 years.

However, we must move on in the hope that mass vaccinations in 2021 will mean that things will get back to normal as quickly as possible. It is probably too soon to say with any certainty that the Scalby Easter Walk and Scalby Fair Week will happen but we must be optimistic. Public confidence has been badly shaken and this will need to be restored.

On a very positive note the Nag’s Head is in the hands of a very capable couple, James and Stacey, and the Fair committee look forward to working with the pub to make whatever we do in 2021 the great success the Fair normally is.

Best Seasonal Wishes to all Fair Committee Members, our wonderful stall holders and the thousands of people who enjoy Scalby Fair every year.

Tom Cathcart
Chairman of Scalby Fair
