It’s a festival and it’s on once a year and you stay over in tents. It’s got rides, stalls and all sorts of fun. It would be muddy though since it does rain.

Growing up by the seaside, it’s become a safe/calm place. It’s so easy to escape from stress etc and to just enjoy the air, especially on a hot summers day.

You can't beat fish and chips on the Yorkshire coast. With salt and vinegar and mushy peas! Some of my favourite places are Filey, Whitby and Sandsend.
