Nigel will be attending the Scarborough Seafest on 25/26th July 2009 demonstrating the recipes he created especially for The Yorkshire and Humber Seafood Group.
More information will be posted here as soon as we have it so keep checking back.
Seafest is an annual festival which takes place at West Pier and around the harbour area of this premier seaside resort and fishing port in North Yorkshire.
We celebrate the regions connection to fishing and are proud of our Yorkshire Coast maritime heritage.
Each year we host the regions biggest gathering of folk singers, shantymen and musicians at this unique event.
We are dedicated to promoting local musicians alongside those with more international acclaim. So far our programme has included the cream of the folk song , maritime and shanty world in the United Kingdom. We have also enjoyed music from other nations including Senegal, Sicily, Canada, Eire, Luxembourg, Germany, Holland, Britanny and the USA.
The festival is based around Scarboroughs West Pier and North Wharf where you will find a maritime themed exhibition, The Cropton Brewery Real Ale Bar and Childrens Entertainment and our festival main stage.
In addition there is our well known Sea Fish Cookery marquee where visiting chefs demonstrate the art of sea - food preparation.
The sound of shanties and folk music can also be heard in the unique atmosphere of Scarboroughs Ale Houses. In 2008 they include The Merchant, The Leeds Arms and The Leeds Hotel. Other activities can be found in our alcohol free/acoustic venue The Sea Cadets Hall.
At the adjacent berths expect to find visiting vessels.
General admission is free .
A unique festival with the sea at its heart.
