What people say about taking part in similar projects with us:

As a newer and older member of the Scarborough community, I stepped out of my comfort zone and into a warm, inspiring and supportive group creating Scarborough Stories. I loved becoming part of Scarborough's vibrant artistic community and meeting brave and talented people. You are never too old to learn.

February - August 2023

We’ve been looking for people to come forward with real-life love stories connected to Scarborough South Cliff Gardens, to be part of a new project which will be a musical storytelling trail to be experienced this summer for the beautiful South Cliff Gardens.

 

A big thank you to everyone who has donated their story! Over the past month we’ve had 110 submissions with ages ranging between 11 and 102. Now, a selection of stories and themes will inspire the creation of a set of new orchestral love songs, created by our community with talented musicians drawn from the Scarborough Spa Orchestra and Sinfonia VIVA Orchestra. These will be professionally recorded and shared with audiences in the gardens via headphones this summer. 

If you didn’t get a chance to get your story in and would still like to be part of the project, or if you've submitted a story and are particularly interested in taking part in the music making workshops, just let us know at info@hello-arcade.com. We’d love to hear from you!
