This year’s Coastival is positively brimming with top talent and splendid shows and promises to be an incredibly memorable day.

Check out the line up taking place in various venues throughout Scarborough:

  • Slung Low, the award-winning theatre company, who will be performing a brand new piece especially commissioned for Coastival (the performance will be the first of five parts which will be performed during a variety of festivals throughout North Yorkshire during 2012, so make sure you don’t miss out on the first instalment!)
