If you’re craving something out of the ordinary, how about a countryside stay in quirky glamping pods with an on-site cookery school? It’s the kind of break that lets you switch off and slow down. Meanwhile, Halloween season is closing in fast, and tours across Scarborough and York are almost full. Don’t wait too long if you want a spooky adventure.

But it’s not all good news - a long-standing high street favourite, Bodycare, has shut its Beverley store after entering administration. It’s a big change for shoppers, with clearance sales already underway.

There’s still loads happening in and around town this week - check out the events below and dive into everything Beverley has to offer.

📍 Beverley in Brief - Community Updates 📰

🌾 A Stay That's a Bit Different
Wold Escapes offers something a little unusual - self-catering barns and glamping pods set on a quiet farm, with an on-site cookery school and plenty of space to do very little. Just outside Driffield, it's quirky, peaceful, and a refreshing change from the usual. Check it out.

🎃 Halloween Tours Are Booking Up Fast
If you're thinking about spooky season plans, now's the time to act. As Halloween approaches, ghost and themed tours are already filling up. Take a look at the Scarborough ghost walk or Dark Tales in Scarborough, or if you prefer to visit York, Shadows of York and the York Dungeon are both highly rated. If you have young children, a Harry Potter-themed tour might be a great option. These popular experiences often sell out well before October - book early to avoid missing out.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

Invest While You Still Can
