Goth weekend at Whitby 2025

 

Whitby 

If we thought the scenery on the drive over the Yorkshire Moors to reach Whitby was stunning, it was nothing compared to the vibrant atmosphere that awaited us in Whitby for the Goth weekend.  

Morris Dancers twirled to traditional music and shops were busy selling all kinds of Goth related items.

From young children to  pensioners and even dogs strutted their stuff wearing all combinations of black:  lace, leather, suede, silk, fur or feathers, from their top hats to their boots.  Some added purple or red.  The outfits were spectacular and the revellers were happy for us to take pictures of them.  In comparison, wearing everyday attire, we felt like fully dressed visitors to a nudist beach!

 Did the lady think it was a Great Expectations convention?
