Wild Eye is an inspiring art and nature programme celebrating the North Yorkshire Coast’s remarkable wildlife and marine environment.

Local communities, leading artists, businesses, and scientists are working together to create events, artworks, and experiences that connect people with the natural world and support positive action for nature.

Wild Eye aims to foster a greater understanding of the incredible wildlife found across the North Yorkshire Coast, raising awareness of nature, biodiversity, and climate change.

Explore the inspiring and accessible outdoor artworks, trails, events and digital experiences that link the Wild Eye locations, from Whitby Harbour to Scarborough Castle, Marine Drive, Scarborough harbour, and the Cinder Track.

Wild Eye is delivered in partnership with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, a regional environmental charity, and Invisible Dust, a UK-based art-science-climate organisation.

Wild Eye is funded by the Towns Fund drawn from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government administered through North Yorkshire Council and supported by the Scarborough Town Board, specifically assigned to the development of a nature, art and culture offer in Scarborough. The funding aims to promote year-round tourism and assist with local economic regeneration.
