Brimham Rocks has gone viral in a bizarre TikTok video in which National Trust staff tell a mobile DJ he is unable to film there.
DJ Zach Sabri, better known online as SUAT, claims he is “just trying to make the world dance” — something he seeks to do by blasting out rave music in unusual places.
His latest video, which appears to be his most successful yet with more than one million views in just 24 hours, sees the DJ dance and sing in precarious places at National Trust-owned Brimham Rocks.
He also appears to lick one of the rocks.

Soon though two National Trust staff, who look taken aback by Mr Sabri, ask if he has permission to film before explaining he would need an activity licence.
In the interaction which ensues the TikTok star asks: “I am just wondering what you categorise this as?” That question gets the response: “well, I don’t know.”
@suatism Karen never lets me rock climb… #karen #climbing #dancemusic #nationaltrust #harrogate
The DJ appears to relent in the end as he tells staff he will leave — although, he ignores their warning not to play music or film on the way out.
TikTok is a social media app popular with young people. The National Trust may not have welcomed DJ SUAT’s appearance but his video will have introduced a lot of people to Brimham Rocks, which is near Pateley Bridge.
Starbeck artist goes viral… at the age of four!A four-year-old boy from Starbeck has racked up over 2,500 likes on Facebook for a painting he created.
Clive Leeming, who started reception at Starbeck Primary Academy this week, became a sensation in the Family Lowdown Tips & Ideas Facebook group after his mum Elena shared his abstract painting.
Proud mum Mrs Leeming said:
“Like most parents we have our kids’ paintings on the fridge or wall for a while then put them in a box and don’t think anything of it. But this one in particular, when he brought it to us we were like ‘wow’.
“He only paints about once a week, but since he was really young he’s loved messing around with paint.”
Clive’s abstract painting
Over 1,000 people in the million-strong Facebook group commented to say how impressed they were with Clive’s artwork. Some even said that after years of art school they struggled to produce work of this calibre.

Clive’s dad, Darren, added that they’re now trying to find him art classes in Harrogate:
“We really want to encourage him as best we can, because he’s got a talent. He’s loved painting from an early age, and it’s often abstract art.
“We’re trying to find a class, but it’s hard for a four-year-old!”

Clive created the painting on regular paper, using acrylic paints and water. But what is the budding Picasso’s painting of?
“It’s an elephant!” he says.
