In 1977, to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee, a road race was run, from The Ox Inn to The Bull Inn at Gristhorpe.
Farming is the predominant type of business. The east coast of North Yorkshire has a thriving tourism industry, dominated by Scarborough, a resort and spa town. There are several camping sites for both touring and static caravans.
Just north of the village, the Flower Of May Holiday Park, owned by Graham Atkinson, hosts both a holiday park, the nine hole "pay & play" Lebberston Golf Course, and the Scarborough Fair Collection of preserved steam engines and mechanical organs.
Lebberston is also the home of Lebberston Market, an outdoor Sunday market, which takes place each year throughout the summer season.
