The town is home to some old museums and arts facilities such as the Woodend Museum, which was formally the home to The Sitwells who formed an artistic clique between 1916 and 1930. The Scarborough Spa Orchestra, which is the last seaside orchestra in the United Kingdom, plays light and classical music. Scarborough hosts the Seafest festivals every year at the harbor and the West Pier. Some of the best things to do in Scarborough include visiting Scarborough Castle, Peashoim Park, Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary, Alpmare UK, and more.
