**Hey Scarborough! Here's what's happening this week** 👋

Scarborough Group International says the Brunswick cinema plan is still on track. The company behind the town centre development has moved to [deny rumours of financial trouble](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/company-behind-scarborough-town-centre-development-denies-insolvency-rumours/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk), confirming the multiplex remains part of the scheme as things stand. It's one of several moving pieces in a development that's been years in the planning, and this week's update is the clearest word yet that it isn't stalling.

Yorkshire Water has issued its usual summer reminder: stay out of the reservoirs, rivers and lakes, however tempting they look in this heat. The warning that [cold water shock can strike even when the air temperature is high](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/yorkshire-water-issues-urgent-safety-warning-as-summer-holidays-begin/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) is worth passing on to anyone with children heading for the becks or the North Bay this week.

If a break's more your speed, H10 Conquistador in Playa de las Americas has just finished a full interior refit - bright, modern, with a nautical touch throughout. The promenade sits right outside the door, [with beaches, shops and a spa all within easy walking distance](https://trivago.tpk.lv/Iu1it5xh?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk).

Closer to home, Goldsborough Hall near Knaresborough has stood for four hundred years and once housed a Royal Princess. It's still a working stately home today, with an AA three-rosette restaurant and grounds built for a slow wander. [Something to know about if you fancy somewhere with a bit of history behind it](https://trivago.tpk.lv/WlgT44mh?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk).

🏨 **New Interiors, Same Prime Seafront Spot in Tenerife.** H10 Conquistador in Playa de las Américas has had a full interior overhaul, bright, modern and rather nautical.

Police believe the pair were targeted, not picked at random.

🥃 **Yorkshire Whisky Maker Turns Ten.** Spirit of Yorkshire in Hunmanby is marking ten years of distilling with a [10-year-old single cask whisky](https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/business/hunmanby-whisky-maker-celebrates-a-decade-of-distilling-with-exclusive-first-age-statement-whisky-8800797?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk), launching at its Open Weekend on August 1-2\.

Fifty years of trade, now a guide price of £600,000.

🍻 **Filey Pub Applies for Pavement Seating.** Fado & Tide on Murray Street has [applied for a licence](https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/news/politics/council/irish-pub-in-filey-plans-change-for-customers-8803441?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) to place tables and chairs outside on the pavement. Objections must be lodged with North Yorkshire Council by July 24.

🏰 **A Genuine Stately Home You're Allowed to Sleep In.** Goldsborough Hall near Knaresborough is 400 years old, was once home to a Royal Princess, and is still a working stately home.

🚶 **Walking Tours Mark Scarborough's 400th Year.** Guided walking tours through August trace Scarborough's history for its 400th anniversary, taking in the [Grand Hotel and the Crescent](https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/community/step-back-in-time-via-walking-tours-around-scarborough-8772204?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) from Woodend. Four centuries of history, limited spots per tour.

💼 **Minister Praises Grand Hotel's Jobcentre Work.** Employment minister Dame Diana Johnson visited the Grand Hotel to [praise its Jobcentre partnership](https://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/politics/employment-minister-praises-scarboroughs-grand-hotel-as-great-employer-8804800?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk), in a sector making up 17% of Scarborough's job opportunities. The hotel's own manager admits hospitality is in crisis.

🕰️ **John Wherritt Closes After 181 Years.** The Eastborough shop, run by the same family since 1845, [closes for good on Saturday](https://www.gazetteherald.co.uk/news/26291131.john-wherritt-scarborough-close-181-years/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk). It opened the same year rubber bands and self-raising flour were invented.

🎰 **Whitby Arcade's Roof Repairs Approved.** Funland and Fun City Amusements on Pier Road had already replaced their roof before applying for permission. Councillors approved it anyway, [despite concerns over uPVC tiles](https://www.gazetteherald.co.uk/news/26291017.decision-whitby-amusement-arcades-retrospective-repair-works/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) beside a Grade II listed neighbour.
