Castle, lighthouse lit with lasers

An exciting new Christmas light show is on its way to the Yorkshire coast, creating a stunning spectacle at several attractions.

The spectacular show will see laser beams at Scarborough Lighthouse, Flamborough’s Chalk Tower, Spurn Lighthouse visitor centre, Withernsea Lighthouse and Whitby Abbey and a special lighting and laser show taking place at Scarborough Castle and Lighthouse.

The shows will be taking place from 7pm until 9.30pm in 20-minute intervals, on December 2 and 3 and 9 and 10, with spectators from up to 25 miles expected to be able to see the lasers on a clear night.

The four-night spectacle, funded by the Yorkshire Coast BID, will see multiple laser beam shows performed in a sequence at some of the most recognisable landmarks and lighthouses.

To get the best views, the following locations have also been recommended as the best viewing spots: Scarborough seafront for the Lighthouse (left) and Castle; Ravenscar; Filey Country Car Park; Whitby Harbour; Flamborough Head car park; and Withernsea Valley Gardens.

People are invited to listen while watching and enjoy the soundtrack for an immersive experience by tuning in live via the Love Yorkshire Coast YouTube channel.

Kerry Carruthers, Chief Executive of Yorkshire Coast BID, said: “We wanted to showcase our coast’s landmarks by doing something a little different, which would support driving visitors to come and see our incredible coast in a new light.”
