Whitby Goth Weekend – April 2010

Did you go?

Anyone recognise themselves or know someone in the pictures?

Yes?

Leave a message…

Looks like the dress code was up to its usual outrageously high standard!

Whitby Goths on The Culture Show

Just in case you were unaware of the Goth phenomenon (and how big it is), here’s a great little video from The Culture Show exploring the finer aspects of Whitby’s Goth culture.

Find out what makes Goth’s come back to the town year after year after year…

From October 2006 Whitby Gothic Weekend

Gothic Weekend in Whitby

And if yesterday’s post didn’t put you off, here’s where you should stay…

GOTHIC WEEKEND IN WHITBY

Tony and Rivkah’s stay at Bats and Broomsticks, a Gothic Victorian guesthouse in Whitby, Yorkshire, the town where Bram Stoker wrote Dracula. Film produced by www.yourphotomovies.co.uk.

Whitby Goth Weekend and Fish and Chips!

Tongue in cheek stuff… the Goth Weekend is a great attraction!

FISH & CHIPS at Whitby Goth Weekend Festival 2008

Our original song/video about Whitby Goth Weekend / Festival.

Featuring beautiful goth girls in Whitby.

We used to be goths by the way, so don’t take offense if you are a goth. Meant to be a celebration of black stuff & all things gothy in a mick-taking sort of way…didn’t want to be too sycophantic.

Oh & just for the record, the section where Chris (the singer) says; “full of f**king clowns” was a reference to the town of Middlesbrough as we were discussing the location of Blaises nightclub as we ad libbed the song. It wasn’t a reference to Goths or the village of Whitby.

It’s unfortunate that I had to edit out the bit about Boro that followed (as the song was getting too long) & it sounds like he’s referring to Whitby as I edit back in.

Why You MUST Visit Whitby

Here are a couple of videos I found about Whitby – very entertaining for different reasons!

The first video takes you through a tour of Bram Stoker’s Whitby and links the novel to places in the town.

The second video is an amusing look at the Whitby Goth Weekend (it really is quite insane!).

Two contrasting videos showing thet there really is something for everybody on the Yorkshire Coast!

Enjoy.
