Scarborough is a seaside town in North Yorkshire.
In 1976 the council refused to allow CHE to hold a conference in the town.[1] CHE then campaigned for trade unions to boycott Scarborough as a conference centre, which is thought to have cost the town millions of pounds in lost business.[2]
Scarborough Pride began in 2009 with a picnic attended by 150 people.[3]
In 2011, Scarborough Pride was a three-day event.[4] In 2012 it is planned for the 1st of September.[5]
