Scarborough Open Air Theatre is located in the North Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough. With a capacity for up to 12,500 people the venue is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Since opening in 1932 the Theatre has hosted a range of acts, from contemporary artists to orchestral performances. There's no mistaking the Theatre's classic design, with its pinewood-built backdrop and tiered seating plan. In more recent years, Scarborough Open Air Theatre has gained a reputation for hosting some of the biggest names in music, with the new Summer season always eagerly anticipated by locals and holiday makers alike.
