    God bless these brilliant folks. Well done them for just embracing who they want to be.
    I love Whitby and can't wait to return and share it with Neil. N&Nx

      Sorry but these are not Goths or embracing who they want to be - they won't do this in thier own town outside Whitby, so they aren't embracing anything. They go to Whitby because they won't stand out. You think they would do this in Sheffield? Goths would because that's who they are but this is not Goths but people in costume. Please don't associate Goths with this, it's insulting.

      @benfletcher9659 thanks Ben. Fair point, however, you'll notice that I didn't describe anyone as 'Goth'. If all participants are enjoying the moment, regardless of whether they're in costume or not, I think that's brilliant. No harm is done.
      Additionally, Whitby gets a much needed autumn boost in tourism which supports many small independent shops and businesses out of the usual holiday season.
      Hope you love Whitby too!

    Always great to see Stephen and Hilary Draper (with Sid) at the Goth Festivals and the wonderful creations they bring, as well as themselves of course too. A great walk about and nice to see you also got to talk to some of the same people as me too. Never knew about the free Whitby parking over winter and as regards the Abbey steps, I am sure there are at least 300! Cheers Alan

      It was great to see the Drapers with Sid and I even got a cuddle (with Sid) the creativity & talent that goes into the costumes is off the scale!
      It’s one of our favourite weekends of the year - the atmosphere is great and the people so friendly
      We just found out that on every 10th step up to the Abbey there is a little plaque with how many steps you have gone up. I have never noticed that - it probably because I’m trying to breathe and not look like I’m about to keel over 😂😂
      I’m sure our paths will cross again soon x

    Hello Rachel and David and Roxy. Hope you are well. We went to Whitby in May, lovely place. Just been touring in our ex Sainsbury van conversion up to Mablethorpe then wells next the sea for a week. Your video was excellent. Love the camera still shots and fantastic music . Do you plan on coming down to Norfolk at all next year? . What do you think to power banks, and I've just bought a 2.4w solar trickle charger plugged into obd port keeps battery topped if you don't use van much . Advice on those subjects would be appreciated. Love to you both. Best wishes David and Beverley Norfolk

      Hi David & Beverley, hope you're good. It's a lovely place isn't it. Sounds like a great break in Mablethorpe and Wells. We're going to start planning for next year soon - so may do but not sure as yet.
      My experience with power banks has been the AllPowers R2500 and I've found that really useful, in the van as you know I fitted a dedicated system but what I do find handy with the power bank is I can use it for DIY and other jobs with it being able to be moved around. Not sure if that helps, all the best, David (& Rachel) 👍

    Hi David and Rachel that was certainly a multi coloured weekend. It's been a few years now since we've seen a goth weekend the last on we seen was at York about 4 years ago. There's always a queue at the magpie chippy I wouldn't like to stand in the queue to be told at the door Sorry but we are closing😂 I can't handle crowds like that anymore due to my disability i get frustrated walking around Workington😅 Till the next video Tek care and stay safe from Malcolm and Sheila.

      @LeisureBit  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Malcolm and Sheila, hope you’re both good. Yes it was very much a multi-coloured weekend with some fantastic costumes. it does get really busy, especially on Saturday afternoon. Imagine it would be particularly tricky. For fish and chips - I can imagine some folks in the queue until it’s closing, especially if people are hanging around inside. If we spot the Magpie quiet when we’re in Whitby, we sometimes give it a go. Anyway, we managed to sit down with some Fish and Chips! All the very best, David & Rachel ❤️👍

    So Gothic is a contemporary subculture that originated in the 1980s among fans of the band Bauhaus. Goths are often associated with a dark aesthetic and are known for wearing black clothing, dark makeup, and unusual jewelry. They also listen to goth music, which is similar to punk rock and has dark and morbid lyrics, because they are Goths. So what are these other people doing here, at Whitby, at a goth weekend?

    Not sure that this is really a gothic event anymore. Looks a great costume event with great people but more costume and steampunk than "goth". I'd be interested to know what music, which is the core of "gothic" is available over the weekend.

    • @LeisureBit

      Morning, I think the event has probably ‘diversified’ from the origins, however the majority of the outfits are epic, the people fantastic and the atmosphere great so it gets my vote!
      I think some of the traditional pubs remain true to the core and offer a goth experience

    Admittedly, there are a few very well-done and very well-thought-out outfits, where there's obviously been a lot of hard work put in… but there’s also a hell of a lot of tacky trash and off-the-peg supermarket Halloween fancy dress. Is there still plenty of loud good ole rock n roll Goth bands playing every night over the weekend or do they just walk around posing and taking photos?

    • @LeisureBit

    Thank you for at least covering the history of how it started most videos don't bother. I am afraid this isn't really a Goth event anymore. Most Goths have been pushed out due to either prices or anxiety on how busy the weekend is. Goths do not wear costumes and Whitby was just an extension of what we did in our own towns and cities. If someone worse a costume and went out in Leeds that would not make them anymore then a Goth doing in in Whitby. Goth is a subculture and is not about dressing up and is insulting if that's how our scene is interpreted as - which the blame probably lies at the Steampunks door.
