Scarborough’s Brunswick Shopping Centre will host a Christmas fair featuring 50 independent traders later this month.

The event, organised by Yorkshire In Business (YIB), will take place on Saturday, December 14 and Sunday, December 15, from 10am to 4pm on both days.

A variety of gifts and crafts will be on sale at the event.

In the words of a representative of the property regeneration and placemaking firm, Scarborough Group International, which owns the Brunswick Shopping Centre, the Christmas Fair is "part of a wider initiative to keep Brunswick alive with activity ahead of its redevelopment into the newly-reimagined 'Square One.'"

Live entertainment, including performances from local choirs and singers, will also feature at the fair.

Rachel Vickers, senior commercial manager at Scarborough Group International, said: "We’re delighted to host YIB’s Christmas Fair at the Brunswick.

"Supporting local independent traders is at the heart of this event, giving small businesses a platform to thrive while bringing festive cheer to the community during this key trading period.

"The redevelopment of Brunswick Shopping Centre into Square One is set to create a vibrant leisure-led destination for Scarborough, but events like the Christmas Fair play a key role in keeping the centre active and supporting the local community in the meantime."
