Here's what's happening this week** ๐Ÿ‘‹ Scarborough's hospital trust has told its own board that the way it currently operates [is not sustainable](https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/26143907.unsustainable-model-care-scarborough-york-hospitals/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) \- and backed that up with a ยฃ62 million savings programme. In April alone, it came nearly ยฃ2 million short of its financial target. On a rather different note, the Open Air Theatre has quietly become one of the most successful outdoor venues in the country. This season it's [lined up 28 shows](https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/your-north-yorkshire-june-2026/seaside-venue-set-record-breaking-season-28-gigs?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) \- its biggest in 16 years - with 160,000 tickets already sold. It's shifted over a million since reopening in 2010. Scarborough's most recognisable building remains a work in progress. The Grand is [rated 2.4/5 on TripAdvisor](https://tripadvisor.tpk.lv/EU4OYmi8?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) and [5.1/10 on Trivago](https://tidd.ly/430CybR?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) \- up slightly on last year, which the owners will presumably take. The [video doing the rounds](https://youtu.be/T11mBvvGxOY?si=pq8xoo0hck-zcGaY&ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) suggests there's still some distance to travel. If a change of scene sounds appealing, the ancestral seat of the Earl of Swinton - a Grade II castle on a 20,000-acre estate near Ripon - is [currently offering ยฃ100 credit per night](https://tidd.ly/4nYpc9U?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) toward dining or the spa. Worth a look if you fancy somewhere that isn't still working on its reputation. All that and more below. ๐Ÿ‘‰ **Follow us on** [**Facebook**](https://www.facebook.com/scarboroughinsideruk) **or** [**Instagram**](https://www.instagram.com/scarboroughinsideruk?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) **for more updates!** ๐Ÿ‘‰ [Sign Up Here](#/portal/signup) to receive โ€œThe Scarborough Rundownโ€ twice a week - itโ€™s free! ### Why This Collagen Works Faster Than the Rest ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f2/07/f207146b-9285-4e58-86db-8cc479fe2978/content/images/2026/09/2026_0425_carrara_tabletop_01a-t-1776959737.jpg) For decades, beauty has focused on quick fixes: what you put on your skin. But the most radiant glow, strongest hair, and healthiest aging begin from within. Introducing [Pique's Carrara Marine Collagen](https://www.piquelife.com/BEEHIIVEMAIL?q=carrara&utm%5Fterm=IIBLWLKQFZ&utm%5Fsource=beehiiv&%5Fbhiiv=opp%5F61c6c795-2431-4284-8a6c-6fe544154d29%5F7b31cf5a&bhcl%5Fid=1cff2cd3-ffc2-440a-852f-c3fb2fe25627%5FSUBSCRIBER%5FID%5F{{email%5Faddress%5Fid}}), a true breakthrough in beauty.

Designed for superior absorption, you'll see results faster than with traditional collagen. Its rich coconut cream base transforms your daily routine into something indulgent. More ritual than supplement, it elevates even your morning coffee or matcha. This is collagen, completely reimagined. Not just glow but structure. Not just results but longevity.
