Spring Willows, North Yorkshire
December brings its usual crop of special events. Christmas is the time when people pull out all the stops (Nice Christmas Carol Organ Music phrase) and have a blast. Christmas markets, Panto, and meeting Santa are must do activities in the run up to Christmas. Have fun!
I’ve given a web link in most cases. Please check before you go. As with all exploring, some of our ‘What’s on’ suggestions will be brilliant, some will give you completely new experiences, and others may be a disappointment. I’m putting this list together based on what I think looks interesting.

Treasure Island at the Stephen Joseph Theatre 5th – 29th December 2019
This Christmas, escape your landlubbers lodgings and join the crew aboard the Hispaniola. A ship full of Scarborough scalleys, headed to Treasure Island in search of Captain Flint’s buried gold.
Are you brave enough to help Jim and his band of bonkers buccaneers find the treasure before the pirates do? Warning: there be high winds, a giant mechanical crab (called Susan) and a pirate cook with a talking carrot.
Be ready for swashbuckling, singing and the shaking of every pirates booty. So grab your eye-patch, prepare your sea-legs, and get on board!
