Christmas Eve – Scarborough 2025

I went for a walk through Scarborough on Christmas Eve to see if I could grab a few festive shots. The town had a quiet buzz with all the last-minute shoppers finishing their lists.

Camera in hand, I wandered down side streets and along the high street looking for small moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. A bit of tinsel here, a string of lights there. Even usual corners of town felt festive.

I also popped into Boyes to see Father Christmas. It was quiet and it seems to be the best time to get an audience with the big man.

Here are a few shots from my walk, small glimpses of the town and the moments I wanted to remember.
