Goth Weekend Halloween - Whitby
Start Date: 28/10/2010
End Date: 31/10/2010
Every Halloween, Goths from all over the country, head for the annual Goth weekend in Whitby.
Live music events are held in the Pavillion, and the Metropole hotel. Organiser Jo Hampshire arranged the first Goth weekend 11 years ago, when she was the only Goth in a small northern mining town, and placed an advert in a magazine for pen friends, and wanting to find somewhere to meet up. She chose Whitby because of its Dracula connections, and knew that Dracula societies already ran events in the town, and that the people of Whitby wouldn't be "freaked out" by the invasion of Goths. The weekend has become hugely popular, and is well worth a visit.
