Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre takes gold in the White Rose Awards Arts and Culture category


Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre is delighted to have won gold in Welcome to Yorkshire’s annual White Rose Awards.


The theatre topped the Arts and Culture category, beating off stiff competition from a shortlist comprising Harewood House, which took silver, Selby District Council (Selby 950), which was awarded bronze, plus Hull’s Freedom Festival Arts Trust, Huddersfield Literature Festival, Hull Libraries (The Big Malarkey Festival), Kala Sangam, and Yorkshire Sculpture International.


The SJT’s Executive Director Caroline Routh says: “This has been a tough year for just about everyone, and it’s so nice to have something to celebrate for once. “We were thrilled to win the White Rose Arts and Culture Award, and particularly to be shortlisted in such fantastic company. We’re now looking forward to bringing our Christmas show, The Snow Queen, to Scarborough, live on stage throughout December, as well as an online treat – an audio recording of Alan Ayckbourn’s Haunting Julia, performed by the writer himself.”


The White Rose Awards is the largest tourism awards ceremony in the UK, an opportunity for Yorkshire to showcase the best and brightest it has to offer. The awards ceremony was held online on Monday evening.
