Whitby Goth Weekend - Autumn

Whitby Goth Weekend returns to Whitby this October. The Whitby Goth Weekend is an alternative festival incorporating the Bizarre Bazaar alternative market which features over 100 indoor stalls and is now one of the world's most premiere event of it's kind.

Founded in 1994 as a modest gathering of just 40 fellow enthusiasts coming together to celebrate the goth subculture, Whitby Goth Weekend (WGW) has since evolved into a globally celebrated event. Twice a year, the town welcomes over 8,000 visitors, all drawn by its vibrant blend of live music, eclectic shopping, and the striking sight of top hats and tailcoats parading through Whitby’s atmospheric Victorian streets.

While the event itself is free to attend and enjoy the street atmosphere, some specific events, such as live music performances, require tickets or admission fees.
