About Scarborough Art Gallery

Scarborough Art Gallery is a gallery in Scarborough, a seaside resort where amusement arcades, doughnut stalls and gulls along Sandside and Foreshore Road sit alongside the Stephen Joseph Theatre, the Rotunda geology museum built in 1829 and Anne Brontë's grave in St Mary's churchyard on the castle road. Visitors come for the gallery's exhibitions and for the town's two very different bays: the lively South Bay and the quieter North Bay, five minutes from the sands, with a boating lake whose model naval warfare display has run since 1927. The gallery sits within easy reach of the seafront, the station and the castle road, so it fits naturally into a day spent between the beach and the town's cultural sights. Choosing which bay you sleep on shapes the stay as much as the gallery itself.

Tips for staying near Scarborough Art Gallery

  • In August the seafront is loud from ten in the morning, so book gallery time and hotel rooms early if you want a quieter stay close to Scarborough Art Gallery.
  • The park's boating lake stages its scaled naval warfare display with model ships on selected summer afternoons; check dates before you travel, as the rest of the year the lake is free.
  • Several hotels within a 4-minute walk, including The Crescent Hotel and Bike & Boot Inns Scarborough Leisure Hotels for Now, offer parking — reserve a space when you book, as central Scarborough fills up.
  • Anne Brontë's grave in St Mary's churchyard on the castle road is 5 minutes from the castle gate; pair it with the gallery on a dry day, as both are outdoor or partly outdoor stops.
