We've loved your feedback on our exhibition so far, thank you to everyone who has been to see the show since the opening! Unfortunately, due to some ongoing maintenance work on the gallery out of our control, we have to close the current exhibition early. The closing date for the current exhibition ROOTED is now the 15th of August. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, any questions please email [email protected].

Looking forward to hosting a creative weaving workshop on July 21st with at Woodend Gallery!

Creative weaving is playful, with few rules and this workshop is appropriate for ages 8 and up. No previous experience is needed. Last entry will be 2pm as your weave will take 60-90 minutes to complete.

To join in the fun and be sure of a space please book your free tickets through scarboroughfair.uk/events and put the word “weaving” into the keyword search.

Come have some fun at this year’s Waste Not Want Not Summer Fair!

Want to try blacksmithing? Eat free seafood? And build your own bird box?!

These are just some of the many activities you can try at the Waste Not Want Not Fair. Adults and children can get hands on with activities such as mini wormery making, solar light jar making, hand and machine sewing, spinning & weaving and more! All while learning about local heritage skills and knowledge that can help our communities to save money, get creative and be more self-sufficient. There will also be plenty of sustainable items to shop!

Supported through The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the event is part of a series of activity-based events and workshops that bring people together to build community, develop understanding of the ways in which our heritage can help save money and boost resilience, and show how the use of these skills can benefit the climate and nature.

✨NEW DATE and VENUE✨

6 July 2024—1 September 2024
Scarborough Art Gallery, The Crescent, YO11 2PW
Tuesday - Sunday | 10am - 5pm

You may have noticed there is work going on in Woodend Main Gallery, because of this our upcoming artist James Brunts’ exhibition is being moved into our neighbours at Scarborough Art Gallery.
James will use an immersive process to create this new work, allowing the landscape, weather and people associated with the Scarborough coastline to respond creatively.
Coastal Ecologies is the result of a new commission from Scarborough Museums and Galleries and Crescent Arts to widen opportunities for Northern artists and share the interest of ecology, sustainability and the changing natural world with regional audiences.
