Scarborough Spa
Scarborough Spa is a Victorian building on the North Yorkshire coast overlooking South Bay with views of the water and harbour. Inside are a theatre seating around 600 people for performances, the Grand Hall for conferences, and various smaller rooms equipped with modern facilities for events and gatherings.
Scarborough Spa began in the early 17th century when visitors discovered springs beneath the cliffs believed to offer health benefits, establishing the town as a health resort. Over time it evolved from simple spring waters into a large Victorian complex dedicated to entertainment and hosting events for the community.
The spa takes its name from healing springs discovered in the 17th century that established Scarborough as a health resort. This heritage of wellness and gathering still shapes how people experience the venue today as a place for relaxation and community events.
The venue sits right by the sea next to South Bay, making it easy to explore the beachfront and promenades around it. Plan to arrive early to explore the spaces, enjoy a meal or drink at the restaurant, and get comfortable with the layout before any scheduled events.
The building is connected by a footbridge that leads visitors directly from the beach to the venue, allowing a seamless walk between the waterfront and the event spaces. This connection shows how the place was designed from the start for people to move between nature and culture.
