Whitby Gothic Weekend

---

Me and some of my colleagues have visited at Whitby Gothic Weekend. One of us said farewell to our job couple of days earlier. We dressed up as well, some of us pretty well, some not at all.

Firstly we had a look over the ship from capitan Cook times. Really tiny nut crust if compare with greatness of ocean, but despite of this miserable sail they discovered big number of the new lands.

We went into Dracula Experience to feel how to being scared and after that nice experience we found Whitby has someting particular... I like Dracula but I'd rather don't prefer different vampire stories. Plenty people were dressed like blood thirsty vampires and I think some of them quite well. Some different people were clothing from victorian times and some mixed up a bit different styles - for example I saw some men whose wore leather coats over 19th century suits. They looked a bit like dark or evil vampires or like noble men - everything is up to point of view.

After Dracula Experience we visited in Capitan Cook Memorial Museum Whitby. We couldn't to take any pictures overthere but exhibition was very interesting.


Finally we climbed up cliff over town to see reamins of medieval abbey and cementary overthere.

Glad you enjoyed your trip
Been writing about Whitby and other areas to visit in UK - found you review very good, as we think the Gothic weekend can be kind of strange - but Whitby as you say has a lot to offer. Durham is also a very historic city plus the Northumberland Coast is fab for all types of holidays, including walking and all things water sports.

Whitby Gothic weekends
The Whitby Gothic Weekends are a fantastic time to visit the town. There are now two official Gothic weekends per year, and the events have just grown and grown. People travel from all over the world now! Whitby itself has so much to offer visitors. I grew up in the town, and it is now only since I have moved away, that I realise what a special place it is. The views of the town from the Abbey are breathtaking and the Abbey itself is well worth a visit. The narrow bustling ancient streets of the East side are packed with interesting shops, and the West side of Whitby has a beautiful beach, and all the seaside amusements you would expect. Our town has a great new website, with lots of beautiful photos called wonderfulwhitby.co.uk
