We are hoping to make a major Heritage Lottery bid for the restoration of the gardens. Click here to hear what Radio York reported on this project.

If this bid is to be successful we must demonstrate that there is strong local support for the project so please click here to complete a simple survey form.                  

The Friends of South Cliff Gardens are dedicated to the restoration and improvement of Scarborough's wonderful historic Gardens      Click here for Scarborough Weather       

While most coastal resorts have bedding schemes similar to the superb displays on the Esplanade, there are no major seaside gardens elsewhere that feature plants suitable for coastal conditions displayed in a show garden style. While still retaining the Gardens' historical integrity plans will be developed for many areas which should be created to show the coastal planting combined into garden design to suit the tough conditions.

Central to this idea is a string of individually designed gardens, large, small and tiny, each based on one of the original garden areas and linked to a shelter so enhancing the historical design. 
The Friends issue a regular Newsletter to the membership.
 
In response to growing concerns about the condition, appearance and misuse of the Gardens and the shelters (such as vandalism and vagrancy) in the South Cliff and Holbeck Gardens, the Friends Group was constituted in 2006.  To read our Constitution click on dropdown link above.
