- We went to Whitby on goth weekend this year and made a full walking tour of it. You will love this video and please watch till end as it is full of surprises.
Whitby Goth Weekend is an alternative music festival held in Whitby. The event consists of two nights of live bands, and three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) of alternative trade stalls at the Whitby Leisure Centre, and Whitby Brunswick Centre.
The term "Whitby Goth Weekend" is sometimes used as a generic term to describe events during the week in Whitby as a whole, although the name of the event and its associated logo are registered trademarks of Jo Hampshire of Top Mum Promotions.

I’ve spotted myself in the background for a split second! I was only here for the day (Sat 30th) but had such a great time despite the lousy weather.
So many negative comments unfortunately which is really sad. Luckily everyone actually here was in good spirits, take photos and chat. The couple with the vampire ‘baby’ (amazing doll!) were fab, they let me have a cuddle for photos as the baby had red hair like me and matched my costume!!
Thank you for sharing your video!
Thanks for watching Alice, me and my husband really enjoyed our day and had a great time too. That doll was really cute
*My mistake Saturday 29th
Bit of Steampunk going on.
Half hearted shite
@@skyterrapin Thank you for your interesting point of view.
As someone who was on the Goth scene for 20 years and attended WGW in the 2000's and 2010's, I am so sad what this has degenerated into. Whitby was about escaping to a quint, lovely town that was out of season and cheap. A week of clubs, markets and pretty much doing what we did at home but only 5 nights of it. Goths didn't "dress up" any different from what they did at home. These people don't do this and would be too self-conscious to do this in their owns towns. This is now nothing more than the British public doing a Halloween Comic Con. Gone are the Goth clubs replaced with pub nights with crappy Tribute bands. If you want to experience a Goth festival now, you have to go to Germany because this is just a circus. Like the local village drunkard trying to join in the village fayre.
Well said Ben totally agree.
Mmm agree, but when all said WGW has become a victim of it's own success.
@@user-rt7df1nl6h I blame the Steam Punks. They created the wrong impression what the weekend was.
I think Goths are fantastic! I am not one but the clothes bring a surreal fantasy vibe to a drab grey world. They look brilliant!
Thanks for watching
This is not Goth.
Looks really nice amazing
Thanks for watching
Great to see people enjoying themselves..
Thanks for watching
I went to this. It was my first time and I loved every minute of it.
Thanks for watching
Fancy in deed, everyday is goth for most, love it!!
Great channels to watch is It's Black Friday..& Goth home making.
Thanks for watching
Fantastic, Sweeney Todd & Mrs Lovett say hi and thanks for filming us both, :)
Our pleasure! and thanks for watching
It looks more like Steam Punk than Goth. I think some people need to learn the difference.
Thanks for watching
I miss the days when the Res was a great place to hang out regardless of which aspect of Goth you were more involved in and whichever part of the Res you were in be it the cellar, first floor with the live bands or upstairs for a bit of EBM you had a great time! I was sad to see it no longer part of the WGW as have had more tham my fair share of great times there and met so many fantastic likeminded people! Sadly now WGW seems a far cry from the incredible event of old which I truly miss but Whitby will always be somewhere I love and feel totally at home in Xx
Thanks for watching
I totally agree.
It's a fucking circus. :(
We stopped going when the Res shut down the cellar it was rubbish after that. Now its just who can have the best fancy dress outfit to pose for the photographers.
@@BlackDahlia776 I hated my photo taken by people I did not know. We have not been since 2015 and since WGW lost the Spa and our favourite club stopped (Nostalgia) doubt we will again. It was perfect in 2008/2009, as usual ruined by people not even on the scene.
What a fun walking tour! 😀 Great work 🥰
Thanks for watching
very good didnt see us but there were so many in costume
Thanks for watching
Really couldn't make it this year.. but wow you sure captured it all.. great job and a huge thank you for posting this awesome event
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Lovely to see a gathering like this and some great costumes....Good to see more people expressing their selves through their clothing.
Thanks for watching
Not really expressing themselves though are they, you think they would have the balls to do this at home? Whitby was about a week of bands, clubs, markets. People there wore what they did anywhere else.
Great video lots of locations great range of subjects really caught the feel of the place on a Goth Weekend day. Love seeing the range of outfits looks like folks put a lot of effort into it. Visual feast, but a terrible time to try and get a room in a B and B!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
If Dracula were to walk these streets nobody would think he was out of place compared to some of these folks.Dracula might even be nervous of them .🤣🤣🤣
What a great place, been to whitby a few times and hope to get there again some day.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing 😊 very entertaining
Thanks for watching
Loved seeing the Goths in whitby ,great weekend, only downside the pubs so busy couldn't get in a few ,but great atmosphere.
Thanks for watching
I wish there were events like this in Ohio, but the city I live in these nothing for us Goths to enjoy, we just get stared at everywhere we go
Thanks for watching
Love the Goths, all the ones I’ve met are lovely people ❤
Thanks for watching
Fantastic tour 😊
Thanks for watching
Great thank you.
Thanks for watching
Omg didn't know it was a thing I've been missing out I must go 😀
Thanks for watching
Wish I was there 🍀
All you guys looking amazing xx
Thanks for watching
I love Goth Weekend so much omg, I went dressed up on Sunday it was so much fun
So cool! Thanks for watching
Goth is'nt about dressing up though, 99% of these people aren't Goth.
Love Whitby , great Fish n Chips !
Thanks for watching
Excellent quality video 👍
Thanks for watching
Lovely vlog
Thanks for watching
More like fancy dress
than Goth but good to see people enjoying themselves.
Definitely do not agree with goths or anyone draping themselves over gravestones in the cemetery.
These aren't Goths. The few people I know who still go to Whitby Goth Weekend (for the bands) avoid this part of town. This is a circus of attention seekers who don't know what Goth is.
Awe the weather is almost the same in here wet watching here in scotland
Thanks for watching
I went with my goth son. He loved it. I did partake in a bit of dressing up to help him feel a bit better.
Thanks for watching
i love whitby
Thanks for watching
very cool!
Thanks for watching
It's called goth and alternative dress weekend for a reason ppl shud get a grip
Thanks for watching
But it's not called Goth and alternative dress weekend. Where on Earth did you get that idea.
@@andybuchan9362 what's it called them because it definitely is not called goth weekend anymore
@@Urbanvik1ng the music event, at the Spa Pavilion, is called Tomorrow's Ghosts. The rest, apart from some independent events, comes under the broad banner of Whitby Goth Weekend. Nobody uses the term "alternative dress." As a Goth, I have no "alternative" to the way I dress, so the term makes no sense.
@@andybuchan9362 so what about all the steampunk that has out grew goths,it is not goth weekend anymore fact
standard British weather i see :) good video
Thanks for watching
Not the goth weekends I used to go too amazing costumes though
Thanks for watching
Looks like a lot of fun. Reminds me of Halloween in the U.S.
It is full of fun, Thanks for watching
Luved'it
Thanks for watching
@@FilipinainUK 🤓👍
Looks more like Steam Punk to me.
Thanks for watching
love this! next time you come to Whitby try La Rosa hotel, they're a very quirky hotel that have rooms that are decorated like the famous Bram Stoker, and a better place to go for drinks would be the station Inn opposite the train station near by Greggs!
Thanks for the tips! and Thanks for watching
Weird how it's gone from a Goth weekend, to a fancy dress event. Where are the goths?
Plenty of goths there, no problem with people putting their own spin on it
@@moviehell8971 The vast majority that go now are not Goths. Dressing up twice a year and just walking around Whitby in fancy dress, does not make you a Goth, or put a spin on it.
@@RAMSEYM2402 and who cares, people can do whatever they want. You don't have to be a goth to celebrate gothic culture and those who only dress up twice a year wouldn't claim to be either. All the real goths who go love it.
@@moviehell8971 Goths care, because its them that now have to pay inflated prices and room in hotels. I've nothing against fancy dress, but it would be better if tge did it on different days of the year.
It has been like this from the start as a sort of add-on to the Goth music events.
The Chav Nation arrives for its annual AGM.
This randomly appeared in my feed and even more random at 2:05 The back of me appeared in the shot😂
Fairplay looked a bit wet! But not had the cold yet this year. V mild so far.
P.s Dressing up and getting out we should do more in this country!
Thanks for watching
Goth/ Steam Punk? Who cares. Everyone looks fantastic.Thanks for posting.👻
Thanks for watching!
Real Goths do, that's who. Now inflated prices, too busy and not a Goths weekend.
More steam punk than goth.shame those industrials and old school never showed up too much sunlight?good turn out though.nice to see those halloween costumes got some wear.
Thanks for watching
Went to Whitby on 20th Nov 2022 best chips are at The Fish Box opposite the Co op.
I will try when I go to Whitby next time. Thanks for watching
I wonder if the Sisters Of Mercy turned up, how many of these goths would recognise them?
Thanks for watching
These aren't Goths.
I used to go every year as my ex mother in law birthday was 1st November and lived in Whitby so it always coincided with Goth weekend. You could off gone up the 199 steps to Dracula grave ( the steps have been there for at least 700 years or even more) and saw where the ship came top ground in the Bram Stoker story. Also the Abbey has so much presence , began 657 AD and linked to St Hilda or Hild. St Hild drove the snakes away ( similar to Ireland st Patrick) ; the snake was a metaphor for the old ways.. and also determined how easter was calculated. The abbey was destroyed by Henry 8th dissolution of Monasteries in the 16th century breaking away from Roman Church.
Thanks for the info. I will cover all that in my next video of Whitby. And thanks for watching
There is no Dracula grave as he is a fictional character with only tentative link to Whitby.
@@4-video There is a grave at the top of the 199 steps marked "Dracula" so one can view it ! In the story Dracula kills the ship crew and the ship is wrecked in storm on Whitby bay , followed by Dracula leaving the ship form of a black dog:, how is that a tentative link ? it is pretty much part of the narrative to how he emerged in England. perhaps go to Whitby and find the grave and read the book.
@@christopherevans4743 I live there so know there is no grave of an imaginary 'person' without checking.
@@4-video Then you have lost your sense of story, playful imagination and are too literal ; stories brings tourists and they bring money and Whitby definitely needs the stories.
Hello sis greetings from Germany..new friend here
Thanks for coming
Hey fabulous...
Thanks for watching
I will say you don't see basically any goths there normally or at least not when I've went. It's only really the goth weekends where you can be yourself if you dress this way without getting too many dodgy looks, it's kinda sad tbh. We're treat differently just simply cus of how we dress and what music we listen to when we're just like everyone else personality wise and then they decided to do this and pretend as though they care about us and don't find us weird. I like it but I hate it too
I still really need to go, I've been begging my dad for YEARS
Thanks for watching
Looks like SteamPunk that comes to Lincoln.
Is this the tory party conference? I’m sure I saw mogg , the ghost of Christmas past in there somewhere!
Thanks for watching
Every year for the past 26 !😮
Thanks for watching
Good for local business, but as others said looks more like steam punk .
I'm not sure if they are even what I would call Steam Punk as that scenes pretty dead now. Just people in costume.

Thank you
Thought this was Blackpool on a weekday 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching
Lots of people I know unfortunately I didn't make it again this year but did get to wear one of my creations on Monday 😂 💜😈💜 scaring the neighbours
Next time! Thanks for watching
Where are the Goths?
Not a backcombed hair in sight.🤣
Many of the ones I knew who had gone from the begging started dropping off from 2009 but the straw that broke WGW was when they lost the Spa. It's pretty much just a pub venue now. Many of the old crowd go to Tomorrow's Ghost instead.
Excellent video. May I ask what camera you used to get such good results?
All my videos are shot on iphone 12 pro max. Thanks for watching
@@FilipinainUK Thank you for replying. I have the iphone 13 pro. I never realised it was that good for video. I was at Whitby on Saturday but I never thought about using it to video the event. After seeing your video you have given me the confidence now to use my iphone. I have also viewed some of your other videos and they too are excellent quality. That prompted me to ask you what camera you were using so I thank you for your prompt reply.
@@MrGarth311 You're welcome. iphone 13 camera is even better than 12
Not really my scene, but it looks fascinating. As long as everyone had a good time without any trouble, then good luck to them.
Thanks for watching
I'm in your video at 01:07 - man with no hair 🙂
Thanks for watching
It takes all sorts to make a World
Thanks for watching
Now you’re getting the to know how Whitby is like so much History
Thanks for watching
Great fun, everybody ought to go. Read (or re-read) Dracula the week before you go, as it's set in Whitby so it will be even more thrilling an experience. Everybody is really friendly, quick to laugh with strangers, so kind and considerate-- not at all intimidating or 'stuck up'. The atmosphere is not claustrophobic or menacing in any way and so it's genuinely something the whole family can do together. The funniest part of the weekend is having a fry up in a quiet cafe the morning after and seeing all these tender-headed goths in hangover-hiding sunglasses quietly eating their eggs and mushrooms. Haha, they're all dressed up in their ghoulish theatrical garb but sitting and slurping on a mug of tea at 10am. These dramatic creatures of the night eating hash browns and reading the Sunday paper in silence. I shouldn't write 'they' because I was one of them too, in my Victorian mourning gown and veil flung back over my head so I can shovel my baked beans into my gob! So much fun!
Thanks for watching
I disagree, if everyone went prices would increase, it would be very hard to find cheap accommodation, it would be too busy and it would cease been a Goth weekend, oh wait, it has.
@@benfletcher9659 It's not my personal idea of a 'goth weekend' either but still great fun to see people celebrate Victoriana, English history, the gothic aesthetic and gothic-horror literature. For some, the music scenes of their youth are continually paid homage to and that DIY anti-establishment artpunk vibe is the most sacred aspect of their interpretation of a 'goth weekend'. What everybody is there for is none of my business. I'll always find things that make sense to me and are worth celebrating and participating in. At least the gently curious, festive 'normies' of all ages are there with good energy and a kind curiosity about it all instead of an ugly, goofy menacing ridicule of the participants. Whether the people there want to trade rare 'Part 1' 7 inches with me, chat about gothic literature or just sit and have a beer and talk to my husband about the Industrial Revolution and steam engines...all cool with me. I'm too old to keep nursing a fiercely proprietorial attitude to any 'authentic scene' for 'genuine goths' nor am I concerned about lack of cheap accommodation. If you're personally thinking of going, return to this thread and I'll personally reserve reasonably priced accommodation for you and your party-- it's my forte and I'd be be quietly thrilled to triumph on your behalf. I'm glad festivals like this bring so much international interest and income to independent businesses in and around Whitby. Goth weekend is only twice a year, unless I'm mistaken and it's changed to just once. Each to their own and I hope you have a fantastic 2023 doing what you most enjoy as often as you can. ✌🦇
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 I and many others who attended, feel it's no longer a Goth weekend but a Cosplay, which I would normally have no issues about if it has not been at the expense of this truly brilliant music festival. York would have been a far better place to have held a costume event and left Whitby to the Goths, in what was a quiet, cheap out of season holiday. I don't go anymore due to the above reasons but most things I knew from a Goth perspective have changed, not for the better. Happy 2023 to you too.
@@benfletcher9659 I think we'd agree on far more than we'd disagree on. It definitely has a goofy cosplay element now and the substance just isn't there anymore. I could not agree with you more. This happened to the punk scenes I grew up in too; the slick Californian pop punk corporate nerds wanting to be 'rock stars' in cahoots with uptight academic rich kids dominating the scenes with their suffocating identity politics/scenester behavioural policing along with their glossy overproduced fanzines ruined the entire thing beyond recognition and it just all died a slow undignified death. Whitby Goth festival is very generalised now and the net has been cast so wide. There's just no connection, no running narrative when it comes to 'goth' as you and I both understood and knew it, that much is clear. It's all very corporate and mainstream; just like the goofy social media/CZcams kids asking with a straight face 'Can you be goth if you don't like the music?' What on Earth has happened to humans for them to ask something so monumentally empty-headed?! I could facepalm and cry at the same time at this absurd superficial, purely cosmetic fashion-trend nonsense. There's no substance and the past sure is another country; we DEFINITELY did things different there. These kids have no idea what it was all about, going by what I've seen and heard in this era. The internet is largely responsible for this destruction but the entire recipe eludes me. Things sure have changed and so much NOT for the better. Anyhow, good vibes for 2023, must not rant and cry into my coffee like a cliched punk...😉🤣🤣

I am very confused. What constitutes a Goth as against a Steam Punk as against a Punk, as against a Cos Player as against a Liverpool Fan?

Just a normal Whitby weekend..🤣

Need to do Krampus next month
Did you not visit the Abbey for the show?
Thanks for watching, I will definitely make a video for Krampus Run in December and regarding Abbey I am planning to make a separate video about Abbey
It used to be way more fun like 20 years ago.
Thanks for watching
Didn’t realise they closed the roads.
Yes they did, Thanks for watching
Why did I not know of this?!
Now you do... Thanks for watching
I think its better as a Whitby fancy dress event because there will be more variety such as Goths, Victorian, Steampunk, Tudor, even spooky like dracula, Frankenstein etc ... that's so much better and would attract many more people of all ages as most Goths tend to be on the younger side....
Thanks for watching
I went to Whitby for years from 1999 to 2008 when Laughton's shut down. It was a Goth festival please check the history and Goths are not all younger, some of us were there at the beginning. Some of these outfits will cost a fortune and we tended to buy from charity shops and customise ourselves. Something has been lost, here.
@@adelemarieish I think if I were a Goth living in the area I would perhaps start a new annual or monthly Goth meet up or festival especially if the original Goth gathering has now changed or been over taken by others who wear non Goth clothing
What you speak of is called 'Cosplay', which I have nothing against had it not been at the expense of Whitby Goth Weekend.
@@adelemarieish I started going in 2008, which when I look back on was probably the tail end of the original festival (which I loved and was probably the best year we went). Did 2009 as well. Had a 5 year break and returned in 2014 and 2015 but wasn't the same vibe. Since WGW lost the Spa, it's probably declined even more so that I doubt we will go back. Still look Goth but really not in the scene anymore.
To bad for the weather , why don't they do this in the summer? 🙄🙄🤦♂🤦♂ to hot? 😁😁
Goth weekend is twice a year, April and Halloween weekend. Thanks for watching
Goth Weekend is April and October unfortunately not been able to go since I was taken ill! From Covid last year and still struggling with long Covid effects but I do make and design my own creations so every one is a one of creation
@@lumia57 Thanks for correcting me, I thought it was July and October and Thanks for watching

So what's it all about then ? What happens at night ?
Don't ask about the night ....
@@adude9882 Ok.
They rush home to watch the tele hoping to see themselves.
Well the real Goths would have been at the Spa, the Met or other venues watching bands or at a club. As for this lot, probably in bed, cup of tea, with a hot water bottle watching Coronation Street.

It used to be great 10 years ago but it's just turned more and more into a fancy dress/ weekend.
It’s more steam punk these days but still brilliant
Thanks for watching
KRANKS DOING THIER OWN THING ,GOOD LAUGH .
Thanks for watching
I've wanted to go for years by boy online fighting between goths with "Your doing it wrong your not a real goth" type of crap has put me off. I'd rather go on a normal day when you can actually walk around without bumping into people and there's no price hiking.
Ci sono gotici che vestono "normalmente". Tutto sta' nella musica, il resto è il contorno. Non scoraggiarti per ciò che ti dicono, sii sempre te stesso/a 🥰

Are you someone who wants to go for the Goth bands, clubs (assuming there are any left that is), markets and to meet up with friends in a lovely old town. Or someone who wants to parade around is a costume to get their photo taken and has no idea what Goth is?
@@benfletcher9659 Did it all 30 years ago and loved it.... I now love life rather than labels
... :)
I was in Whitby today and they are still the same, that’s how the locals dress.
When it first started in the 1990's, people used to put signs up of "No Goths". However, this changed when they smelled the £££. Plus, it will be another generation of B&B/shop owners now.
@@benfletcher9659 Whaaa?! Stores literally tried to ban goth shoppers?
@@hollyjeffords680 Well not ban, just feel unwelcome. When Whitby Goth Weekend (the music festival) first stared in 1994, pubs and B&B's used to put signs up in windows saying "No Goth's". I guess they soon stopped once the £££ came it. I suspect many of them have retired and it's a new generation of owners.
You need to go at night, much more atmospheric
We were thinking that too..Thanks for watching
Looks more like a steam punk collective than a Goth convention
Thanks for watching
The Steam Punk crowd started showing up in the mid to late 2000's, mostly walked around as it's not a very music based scene. Had quite over the top outfits, people took their photos, which circulated and the public though it was a fancy dress weekend and "joined in" it's just avalanched more out of control each year. Shame as when it was just the Goths is was a bloody good weekend.
Such a shame it rained😊
Thanks for watching
Why do most of them look like they have never seen a camera???
Thanks for watching
Real Goths ignore cameras, this lot feel self conscious about it in case their boss sees them.
Do not let this young lady fool you, this is not "Goth Weekend" , this is just a normal day in Whitby.
Hahahaha, Thanks for watching
Ask most of these people about Bauhaus and they would start taking about architecture. Hardly a true goth amongst them. It would appear that the WGW has lost its identity to the stream punk crowd.
Thanks for watching
Sadly that started happening years ago and has just avalanched each year by more and more people saying "I fancy doing that next year..." with no actual understanding that this was a Gothic music festival. None of them are members of the Goth scene but just people who think they are "a bit mad and loopy".
Is this what Larpers do in the off season 😁
