Scarborough Open Air Theatre was first built in 1932
The Scarborough Open Air Theatre (SOAT or OAT) is an outdoor venue situated in Northstead Manor Gardens, Scarborough, England. Constructed in 1932 by the Scarborough Corporation, it was inaugurated by the Lord Mayor of London, featuring the first production, 'Merrie England.' After an initial closure in 1986, the theater underwent a substantial refurbishment, reopening in May 2010. Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by Prince Philip, officially reopened the newly renovated theater.
Since its revival, the Scarborough OAT has welcomed renowned artists such as Elton John, Britney Spears, Gary Barlow, Kylie, Noel Gallagher, Lionel Richie, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Biffy Clyro, Little Mix, and Lewis Capaldi. In 2017, the theater expanded its capacity from 6,500 to 8,000 by covering the lake area. The venue hosts diverse events, including music concerts, opera productions, and community gatherings.
In 2018, the Scarborough OAT achieved a record attendance of 90,000 people at concerts, contributing an estimated £7 million to the local economy. Today, the theater remains a cultural hub and economic driver, continuing to attract diverse performances and making a substantial impact on the local community.
