๐๏ธ Ticket prices are kept low and some shows are pay-what-you-want. Many venues are small โ book early so you donโt miss out!
Running alongside it is Scarborough Winter Art (29 Oct โ 29 Nov) featuring festive fused-glass workshops with The Repair Shopโs Matt Nickels, open studios and exhibitions across town.
