This Week in Bridlington

Bridlington is buzzing with a mix of sporting triumphs and community initiatives this week. Bridlington Town AFC is celebrating a fantastic 2-1 away victory at Silsden, and further good news for the club sees local teenager Riley Cooper signing a contract. Bridlington RUFC also secured a crucial top-of-the-table win, bringing promotion closer. On the cultural front, the Bayle Museum is preparing to open for the 2026 season, promising a glimpse into local history. Young Bridlington actors have been shining at a festival, and the upcoming "This Feeling by the Sea" music event is generating excitement. For family fun, Muddles Live! is set to bring silliness and laughter to Bridlington Spa. The much-loved Bridlington Kite Festival is also returning for its 11th year, promising a sky-high spectacle. Community engagement is evident with the Green Party organizing a successful litter pick on Bridlington south beach, and calls for more detail regarding a significant £100 million investment in water infrastructure are being heard. Readers are also encouraged to share their club and village news with the Bridlington Free Press. However, the week has also seen some somber news. Tragically, funeral dates have been confirmed for two teenagers who died at Bridlington Holiday Park, and a 14-year-old boy was airlifted to hospital after a serious incident involving a car. In terms of law and order, police have been actively tackling anti-social behaviour, with two properties served with closure notices. A wanted man was arrested, leading to the seizure of a weapon and drugs. There's also discussion around the future of Bridlington and Goole UTCs, with permanently reduced opening hours confirmed. Bridlington's MP has raised concerns about white working-class boys being left behind. Retro photos from the Bridlington Free Press archives are offering a trip down memory lane, and readers are sharing their fantastic photos. Finally, a planning application for tree work at Bridlington School Sports College has been submitted.
