Christmas on the Yorkshire Coast
When it’s time to think about the Christmas festivities, why not spend your Christmas break by the sea? Christmas on the Yorkshire coast is a magical experience. The Yorkshire coast is packed full of Christmas activities and events to help you bring in the New Year.
Pantomimes are always a family favourite, and you are spoiled for choice on the Yorkshire coast as there are venues at Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby putting on a pantomime this year. There are plenty of Christmas markets and the famous Robin Hood’s Bay Victorian Weekend, where you can pick up unique gifts and treats. Whitby also hosts the annual Whitby Krampus Run. The Krampus is a horned figure from Alpine folklore who ‘punishes’ naughty children during the festive period. It is still celebrated in many European countries.
You will find a superb range of independent and local shops along the coast, as well as plenty of places to eat and drink, essential when you’ve had a hard day of Christmas shopping!
If you are looking for something more adventurous, there are plenty of lesser-known spots on the Yorkshire coast that make for amazing adventures. Scarborough Surf School at Cayton Bay offers a range of activities, including Coasteering, for thrill seekers and is well worth a try. There are historical sights, beautiful scenery, and landmarks across the rugged coastline. Let’s face it: nothing beats a bracing walk on the beach, even in winter! We hope that has given you a little insight as to what you could do should you choose to spend Christmas on the coast.
See you soon, Sarah and Steve
