The Yorkshire Coast is to play host to an extended laser light show for seven nights from tonight.
The nightly 'light' shows will take place at 7pm and run until March 3rd, lasers will showcase many of the iconic Yorkshire Coast locations - including Whitby Abbey, Raven Hall, South Bay and The Promenade at Withernsea, amongst others.
Light Night has been created by Yorkshire Coast BID, in collaboration with Polestar Productions to showcase the beauty of the Yorkshire Coast whilst also attracting visitors outside of the peak tourist season. Director at Yorkshire BID - Martyn Coltman believes the event to be important for local businesses:
More details of the locations included can be found at their website, but this is a summary of some of the places to be on the evenings:
- Whitby Abbey, Whitby: The gothic abbey that once inspired Bram Stokers Dracula, is the perfect location for the lasers, with great viewing points from West Cliff.
- Raven Hall Hotel, Ravenscar: Located in one of the most scenic areas of the Dinosaur coastline, this stately hotel and grounds provides the perfect backdrop for the lasers, with the added benefit that residents of Robin Hood’s Bay will have a perfect view of them from multiple locations in the village.
- South Bay, Scarborough: In the heart of the harbour, the lasers will be beamed from Sea Grown, championing the heritage, industry and eco credentials of the town.
- The Chalk Tower, Flamborough: Standing proudly in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is described as England’s oldest surviving lighthouse. This iconic building, set amongst the golf club grounds provides a location that is perfect for gathering by to see the sights.
- The Forum, Bridlington: No seafront is complete without the bright lights of the amusements, and this new location will see the lasers mounted to the roof providing a sensational vantage point of the show all the way over towards Sewerby. This will be combined with a one-of-a-kind event taking place on the Saturday.
- The Promenade, Withernsea: The show will be visible from the promenade, located not far from the fishing compound, to highlight the fishing industry on the Yorkshire Coast and what it contributes to the community.
Martyn is delighted that the event is to return:
