Naval Celebrations in Scarborough

For almost 100 years, the Naval Warfare at Peasholm Park has been a must do for visitors to Scarborough. Held every Monday, Thursday and Saturday over the summer, this incredible event captivates audiences with model ships on the lake re-enacting famous naval battles, complete with pyrotechnics.
