Yorkshire Coast Morris spokesperson said: “Yorkshire Coast Morris are a group based in Scarborough and we host a weekend of dance every summer for other Morris teams.
"The teams are mostly from the North of England, but this year also included a team from North Wales.
"We spent Saturday dancing in Peasholm Park in the morning and then moved to North Bay for a dance in the afternoon. After an evening get-together, we met up again on Sunday morning at the castle before finishing the day with dancing at South Bay, with a parade onto the beach where we dance all together before rushing into the sea!
"We were so lucky with the weather and all our visitors say that the trip to Scarborough is their favourite weekend away of the year- we certainly enjoy it!”
