About Whitby Krampus Run

In parts of Europe on the 5th of December, the Eve of the Feast of St. Nicholas the Saint visits homes to give gifts to good children. He is accompanied by his dark counterpart The Krampus, who teases and punishes naughty boys and girls.

Krampus festivals or runs are popular throughout Europe and now in America but had never been held in the UK, until 2015 with the very first Whitby Krampus Run, which was very well received. The event has been held annually and has continued to grow in size and popularity. Take a look through the Arkives to see how far we have come.

So be prepared, for Krampus is coming.
