“It promises to be a very special time of the year here at Bridlington Priory.
“Bridlington Priory throughout its history has held many thousands of celebratory community events and is a place where all are welcome.
“The programme of events and services that we have at the beginning of Advent begins to prepare us for celebrating the wonderful and special gift of Christmas.”
