Special Hairy Bob reading events to be held at Scarborough Castle
A number of special events aimed specifically at under fives will take place at Scarborough Castle this summer.
Hairy Bob reading events and educational litter picks, organised by Keep Scarborough Tidy, will introduce youngsters to one of Scarborough’s best known tales.


The free activities take place on Tuesday, June 2 (fully booked), Wednesday June 10, Thursday July 16, Tuesday August 18 and Saturday September 12, all from 10.30am to 1pm.
Organiser Mick Couzens said: “Youngsters are invited to don their best pirate costumes (optional) and meet at Scarborough Castle for story time and free drinks.


“They will then walk down the hill to Hairy Bob’s Cave to meet the man himself.
“Each child who takes part will receive a free pirate-themed goody bag.
“Participants are then invited to bring a picnic to enjoy together at the end of the event.”
