An undiscovered coastal gem

Tucked away between Whitby and Scarborough, Robin Hood’s Bay is a beautiful undiscovered part of Yorkshire’s coastline. A historic fishing village bursting with tales of pirates, smugglers and dinosaurs, this is the perfect destination for school music tour groups.

Wander through the Bay’s twisting cobbled streets, and you’ll easily be able to imagine all the sailors, fishermen, smugglers and press gangs that walked these streets hundreds of years ago.

Our ensembles will stay at the uniquely located beach-side YHA, where they can enjoy fossil hunting, pirate parties and walks along the coast. Venues range from the local village hall to bandstands in the picturesque former fishing village of Filey to a variety of venues in nearby Scarborough and Whitby.

Concerts

Ideal for all types of ensembles

This area has something for everybody. Perform in the nearby village Hall at Fylingdales, in a traditional chapel, at the parish church in the Bay or outside in the dock. Or travel to nearby Filey, Scarborough or Whitby for concerts in bandstands, churches, concert halls, pavilions or retirement homes.
