**Hey Scarborough! We've Got Big News and Local Flavour This Week**  
There’s a buzz in the air (and the ovens) around Scarborough right now.

The [Open Air Theatre](https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/news/people/open-air-venue-hosting-likes-of-elton-john-thats-a-goldmine-for-seaside-firms-5176901?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) is packing them in - and giving local hotels, pubs, and shops a major boost in the process. With big-name acts and summer vibes, it’s the place to be.

On the flip side, Whitby is saying a heartfelt [farewell to Lucky Ducks.](https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/news/people/whitbys-famous-lucky-ducks-shop-announces-final-trading-day-5177544?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) The long-standing shop is closing after nearly seven decades of charm, memories, and handmade glass ducklings.

Back in Scarborough, Hideout has launched a [flatbread menu](https://www.facebook.com/thehideoutscarborough/posts/pfbid02ajrnGsMovUeZ2hNZu3g4Z9G8wJa6UvAcMNXpVMww14k73Rrgtei4cZwg1HL4gAoNl?rdid=FMnorGC76twInbdw#) that’s already a hit - spicy, fresh, and only served for a few midday hours.
