None given.Whitby Regatta & Scarborough
See the wind in their sails on this fabulous weekend break to Whitby Regatta. Known as one of the oldest maritime events on the North East coast of England, the event has grown and grown to become one of the highlights of the summer calendar, packed full of yacht racing, rowing races and all things sailing! We also enjoy time in Scarborough on this two-day seaside experience, popular for its traditional attractions and sandy bays.

Whitby Regatta & Scarborough
Itinerary
Sunday
From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to Scarborough, where we enjoy some free time at leisure to explore. Situated on Yorkshire's coast between two large bays, Scarborough styles itself as the UK's oldest seaside resort and has been welcoming visitors for some 360 years. Later, we check into our hotel in time for dinner.
Monday
After breakfast, we head to the charming coastal town of Whitby, famed for its connection to Bram Stoker's Dracula, for the annual Regatta. Take in the festivities at one of the UK's longest-running seafaring celebrations filled with a wide range of entertainment. Wander around the quirky streets and the picturesque harbour before tackling the climb up to the atmospheric ruined abbey, perched on the cliffs above the town. Later, we rejoin the coach for our journey home.
