A beautiful sunny January morning on The Crescent, thoughts begin to turn towards warmer days and events on the gardens for 2022. It might seem a long way off, but the dates of the hugely popular food festivals held on The Crescent Gardens have been announced. They are as follows: April 16th, 17th June 18th, […]

Filey’s mystery crocheter has produced another seasonal cracker for the post box. As the twelfth day of Christmas came and went, under cover of dark, the festive knitted extravaganza that had surmounted the post box disappeared, to be replaced by a winter themed number. We are a little worried about the Robin. The corner is a favourite […]

During the early years of the twentieth century Britain was locked into a naval arms race with Germany. Technological advances had led to the creation of the Dreadnought Battleship, a ship whose combination of power, protection and speed rendered all previous battleships useless.

A happy new year to all our readers, from an unseasonably warm Filey. The town has been thronged with visitors over the last few days and last night there were some fabulous New Year’s celebrations. None more so than at the White Lodge Hotel, where the filey.co.uk editorial team enjoyed fine dining and dancing into […]

Volunteers behind the Friends of Filey’s Parks are celebrating a prestigious Green Flag award for the Crescent and Glen Gardens for 2021/22.

The promenade was battered by heavy seas. Several trees were uprooted, roofs damaged and at the allotments a number of greenhouses were wrecked. The train service was suspended until mid-afternoon on Saturday and one unlucky motorist on West Avenue found her […]

The phantom knitter of Filey has produced another classic ‘hat’ for the post box. With autumn turning to winter, workmen beginning to erect the town’s Christmas lights and the Fishtive Tree unveiling coming ever nearer, even the meanest of Scrooge’s has to finally give into the festive spirit.

Over the weekend of Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 November the Crescent Gardens and Evron Centre will host the Autumn edition of the renowned Filey International Food Festival.

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) ‘Good Beer Guide‘ has become the bible of beer lovers across the nation. To feature within its pages is always a feather in the cap of any self-respecting publican.
