Wonders of the Wild - A Community-Created Celebration of Nature
11th July – 9th August 2026
The Old Parcels Office Artspace, Scarborough

This summer, the Old Parcels Office Artspace invites visitors to discover Wonders of the Wild, a vibrant exhibition celebrating the beauty, diversity and wonder of the natural world through art, creativity and community collaboration.

The exhibition brings together 6 local artists and 7 community groups who have worked side-by-side to create an extraordinary collection of large-scale sculptures inspired by flora and fauna. Using recycled and repurposed materials, the artworks explore the wildlife, landscapes and ecosystems found along the Yorkshire Coast, while encouraging conversations about creativity, sustainability and our connection to nature.

The collaborative projects feature:

• Bobby Hick working with Sparks project
• Charlotte Hill working with Scarborough & District Mencap
• Simon Doughty @design_realisation working with the The Rainbow Centre, Scarborough
• Dan Parker Parker Props and Art working with Gallows Close Centre
• Katie Gill The Curious Caboodle working with Cross Lane Mental Health Unit
• Jayne Shipley working with Scarborough Hall Care Home + Yorkshire Coast Sight Support

Together, the artists and participants have transformed everyday discarded materials into imaginative creatures, plants and habitats, creating an exhibition that celebrates both the natural world and the power of community creativity.

Huge thanks to Rob and Elise Fletcher for making the tree for Scarborough Hall Care Home + Yorkshire Coast Sight Support work to be displayed on by @sally.gorham

Great evening at the Scarborough Creative Cluster meet-up held at the Shakespeare Artspace tonight.

We heard inspiring stories from a fantastic panel of creative professionals who have successfully built and grown their businesses on the Yorkshire Coast:

• Lee Threadgold – Co-founder of Animated Objects
• Estar May – Curator, artist and founder of Gallery 33
• Chris Lee – Music promoter

It was fascinating to hear about their journeys, challenges, and successes, and a real pleasure to chat with them afterwards, along with other talented local creatives.

A big thank you to everyone involved in organising such a welcoming and inspiring event. It's always encouraging to see the strength, passion, and creativity that exists within Scarborough's creative community.

Join the Board of Scarborough Studios CIO.

After 5 years as Chair of SSCIO I am stepping down in December; so we are now recruiting for a new Chair and several Trustees to help lead one of the Yorkshire Coast’s most exciting arts charities.

Based in Scarborough, SSCIO runs the Old Parcels Office Artspace and creative spaces in the Old Town, using arts and culture to support regeneration and community life.

We are especially keen to hear from people with experience in leadership, finance, property, fundraising, organisational development, arts and culture.

This is a voluntary opportunity to make a real difference.
