Welcome to Swell

Swell was established in Robin Hood’s Bay in 2004 incorporating a
café bar, gift shop, concert hall and in 2009 Swell was approved as a
venue for the holding of Civil Weddings.

Swell has a prominent position in the old village of Robin Hood’s Bay
which is one of the most attractive villages in the country,
precariously perched on the edge of the sea in an area of
outstanding natural beauty.
