History on your doorstep

For the first time, in 2023, we welcomed the Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Study Group and they will be making a return visit this year to update us on the survey they undertook in Bridlington in May this year.

This year, local artist and sculptor Steve Carvill will again be on hand to tell us about his work in the Priory, the making of the Gansey Girl sculpture on the harbour, as well as his latest commission, The Barrow Boy on Bridlington Railway Station forecourt. Examples of his work will be on show.

Other participants will include East Yorkshire Library Services, Bridlington Augustinian Society, Yorkshire Wolds Heritage Trust, Bridlington Civic Society, information on the life and career of William Kent and much more.
