This is when Naval Warfare will return to Peasholm Park in Scarborough - and the dates for bandstand concerts
Dubbed 'the smallest manned navy in the world', the Peasholm battleships are much-loved and have been reenacting battles for almost 100 years.
The Battle of Peasholm Park - better known as Naval Warfare - will return on July 1 and takes place every Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 3pm in July and August.

The event began in 1927 when the ships were modelled after First World War Dreadnoughts.
However, after a break during the Second World War, the fleet had deteriorated and was replaced with new 21ft vessels to recreate the Battle of the River Plate - HMS Ajax, Achilles and Exeter and the German ship Graf Von Spree
Through the 60s more ships were added and the format changed to include aircraft and a submarine.

Two are drone-powered and two rock over when hit with explosives.
Set up on show day takes the team around eight hours which includes laying cables, fireworks and props.
Earlier this year the boats were given a makeover and repainted prior to the summer season.
