About Illuminated Whitby Abbey - Whitby Abbey

This Halloween, Whitby Abbey will once again come to life with dramatic after-dark illuminations and spooky goings-on for everybody to enjoy.

The abbey’s Gothic ruins are famous for inspiring Bram Stoker’s Dracula, so there’s no better time to explore them – especially after night falls.

There's plenty for visitors of all ages. You’ll follow a trail of lights around the historic ruins and get the chance to enjoy spook-tacular food and drink from local vendors. Costumes are encouraged, and you won’t be alone: dressing up has become a much-loved tradition for regular visitors.
