The annual Festive Spectacular Charity Carol Concert in Scarborough has been cancelled at the Spa this year due to concerns over coronavirus and spiralling costs.

The major event, which is in its 24th year, was to be held in the Spa Grand Hall on Saturday, December 11. Last year's event was replaced with a 'virtual' online concert during the height of the pandemic.

Organiser Nigel Wood said: "We’ve taken the advice and we’ve made an informed decision that in view of still lots of uncertainty that due to the costs and insurance we felt that the Festive Spectacular at the Spa this year isn’t viable."
