The Scarborough Insider is a newsletter and website covering Scarborough and the North Yorkshire coast. It comes out twice a week.

Sue writes it. She lives in Scarborough, and most of what you read here starts with something she's seen, been to, or been told about in town. When there's more on than one person can get round - and along this coast there often is - she gets a hand with the listings and the legwork.

The thinking behind it is straightforward. Plenty happens here, and there's nowhere that sets it out plainly, without either burying it halfway down a page or dressing it up as something it isn't. So the job is the sifting - what's on, what's changed, what's opened, what's closed - and sending it out twice a week.

Locals first. Visitors are welcome, but if you live here, this is written for you.

Free to read, free to sign up.

Sue - Editor

Sue lives in Scarborough and has done for long enough to know which of the things going up on the seafront will still be there next summer. She writes The Scarborough Insider twice a week, decides what goes in it, and spends the rest of her time out enjoying the town and the coast around it.
