Scarborough illuminated by spectacular laser show

The launch of an exciting new Christmas light show saw Scarborough and Whitby spectacularly lit up at the weekend.

The stunning show saw laser beams from Scarborough Lighthouse, Whitby Abbey, Flamborough’s Chalk Tower, Spurn Lighthouse visitor centre and Withernsea Lighthouse, with a special lighting and laser show at Scarborough Castle and Lighthouse.

If you missed the lasers, don't despair – the shows will be next taking place from 7pm until 9.30pm on December 9 and 10, with spectators from up to 25 miles expected to be able to see the lasers.

The four-night spectacle has been funded by the Yorkshire Coast BID.

Tony Gill, managing director of Polestar Productions, which created the show, said it was a great way to highlight iconic the coast’s landmark and to celebrate Christmas.

“We believe it represents a first in creating a string of laser beacons stretching from Spurn to Whitby,” he added.
