Sherbatella's Seaside Sparkle

Sherbatella's Seaside Sparkle is showing at Scarborough Town Centre on Sunday 29 November, as part of the Scarborough Lights festival. It's one of the walking-trail illuminations that make up the festival's wider programme, which runs from Thursday 12 November to Sunday 20 December 2026.

If you're not familiar with how it works, the festival returns each year with around 28 activities and illuminations spread across the town, including trails that draw on local creativity. Sherbatella's Seaside Sparkle is one of those installations you'll find as you work your way through the town centre. Festival manager Catherine Goble has talked up the variety on offer this time around: there's UV mini-golf, a community-created miniature market light display, and the dino-bouts on Vernon Road, which have become a bit of a local favourite. The whole thing wraps up with 'Glow in the Park' in Falsgrave Park, a finale featuring circus acts like aerial acrobats and underwater mermaids.

Behind the scenes, the season is supported by David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, and funded by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. So, if you're out in town between 12 November and 20 December, Sherbatella's Seaside Sparkle is one of the stops on the trail you can catch.
