The Polite Tourist is Thrilled to Present an EVENING Walk on FRIDAY in Scarborough - Sleepeth in Scarboro'

Situated on the exhilarating coastline of North Yorkshire and affectionately known as the ‘Queen of English watering places’ – Scarboro' occupies a fascinating place within the history of seaside resorts.

Along with a history of besieged castles, dinosaur remains, literary prodigies, fishing ports, religious persecution, folklore, medicinal drinking waters, smuggling, and pirate radio – Scarboro' enjoys an enduring charm.

And beginning in JANUARY 2024 – the Lady Brigante will peel back the murky shadows of a seaside town’s criminal past with a stroll through the old cobbled streets in search of the long forgotten dead.

For those of a curious and hardy temperament – why not come along and listen to the Lady Brigante one FRIDAY EVENING in SCARBOROUGH as she shares with you the tales of those ordinary folk including the tragedy of the unwanted child, the mystery of a love lorn spouse and the poignant tale of a confused domestic servant.

And ALL lost to history – until now!

However, for those of a sensitive nature who are averse to real stories of tears, heartache and tragedy – a walk with the Lady B one FRIDAY EVENING may NOT be to your taste.
