I am not sure why its called Goth weekend as it seems to be more Victorian and Steampunk weekend .There is little in the way of music concerts unlike the German equivalent festivals . Goth is a music based subculture .No disrespect to Whitby but more music venues would appeal
Thank you for your comment. I had booked a day out in Whitby as there was a Northern Rail sale and had no idea about the event. When I arrived and noticed all the costumes I had a quick look on my phone to see what was going on and 'Whitby Goth Weekend' came up. As you say, there seemed more Victorian costumes than anything else .. I still don't know what steampunk is .. and why many folk had goggles on, who knows ! Regards from Whitley Bay (about 50 miles north of Whitby)
@@brianmorrison9168 The goggles are an add on from Steam punk trying to depict mad inventors or users of Steam machinery . It got adopted by the Cyber Goth community and now seems to be a fashion add on . Not sure why Steam punk myself .People living in an alternative timeline where steam rules ? Its purely a fashion not a music culture . A lot of Steampunk comes from books and comics as well as an 1980s Role playing game called 1889 an alternative to D&D They do seem to like those hammer horror movies too .
@@thegremlin3194 Many thanks for that information. Although my first experience at Whitby 💀💀was by pure chance .. this video has turned out to be one of my most popular. I have therefore booked again for the 28th October. It's quite a long ride (3 hours) from Newcastle but still enjoyable. Only snag, I'll not get home until about 8:00pm and my wife and I are going away early the following day ... she's not going to be happy, me editing while she packs our clothing ... if I arrive in Liverpool and there are no trousers.. it'll be her fault😁
You're quite right @thegremlin, "Goth" is a music sub culture that many of the people shown here would'nt be seen dead as avid fans. It would be more appropriate to call this Whitby Victorian Gothic Weekend.
There is a music festival. Most of the people show are probably not booked to go to the music. It's somehow become warped into this 'show-off' costume party, which is sort of weird. Still, it is what it is. Glad people go and enjoy themselves, but I do miss the days where the actual goths of all types really congregated there. Most have given up on the event. :/
Many thanks for your comment. Yes, folk look to be having fun. I had actually never heard of the goth weekend before, I had just happened to book a day trip to Whitby in the Northern Rail sale. The video has been one of my most popular. I've booked another trip at the end of October for another goth weekend, coupled with Halloween. The only snag, the day after my wife and I are going away for a few days so I'll have to quick in editing the video and putting it on TH-cam when I get home.
Many thanks ! I had just booked a day out on thre train and never knew about the event, so it was good my good luck to be there at the right time. I only had a short time there, so had to rush around trying to take a few videos. Turned out OK I think, for my first attempt. Might go again in October.
@@brianmorrison9168 Before I retired to Thailand, I lived in Scarborough just 25 miles down the coast from Whitby, so have known about the Goth festival since it first became a thing in the 1980’s. What I don’t understand is how it has also become a mecca for people who have, lets say a fringe sexual bent or fetish. 🤦♂
Thank you for watching. I don't know why, but I think I preferred the first 2023 goth weekend at Whitby. I just happened to be there for that event. Regards from Whitley Bay
Many thanks for your comment. It certainly looks like fun. The Halloween event is next weekend, so I am going there again, hopefully to film the fantastic costumes
Thank you for your comment. I was actually a Whitley just a few days ago, but I think I preferred the April event. And to think I had no prior knowledge of the event when I just booked a cheap day out on the Northern Rail Sale. Regards from Whitley Bay (just a wee bit up the NE coast from Whitby)
Been to Whitby a few times but my visits have never matched up with Goth Weekend. Looks like a well attended event and deservedly so considering the town's historical connection with Bram Stoker.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, it was certainly well attended. I had actually never heard of it, but had, by chance booked a cheap day out to Whitby with NorthernRail (only £5.90 return from Newcastle) It proved very lucky indeed, as this video has been one of my most popular. I’ve already booked another visit, for 28th October, the middle day of the next Goth weekend. Unfortunately my wife and I are going away the following morning for a few days, so she’s not going to be too happy, me editing a video while she packs. If I end up on holiday with no clothes .. I’ll know who to blame .
I went to Whitby from Newcastle last Sunday to film it again .. unfortunately though, it was pouring down when i arrived and there was nobody about, so I returned home .. taking 3 hour journey on the bus, as my train ticket was only valid on the 15:50 train and I wasn't going to wait around for over 3 hours for that, having arrived at 12:30. I'll try again in october. Regards from Whitley Bay
I would love to attend Whitby weekend. It looks like such a splendid time. I dress in Victorian clothing so I would fit in well. The goths with the death hawks look awesome! Def cool!
Thank you for your comment. Yes, it looked as if everybody was having fun and the town was certainly packed. I never knew it was on, so it was just a bit of luck being there att he right time. Thee's another 'weekend' in late October .. maybe you could take a trip there. Regards from Whitley Bay (up the coast from Whitby)
Hi Brian. This was a really nice Goth weekend. A lot of interesting costumes and people. I visited Gothic Treffen in Germany once ten years ago and it has the same atmosphere like this festival. Thank you for nice video. Have a nice week. Sretana and Zac. 🖐😄🤗
Thank you for your comment. I never knew it was on, so was a bit of luck seeing it. I'll probably go again in October .. Whitby is only 3 hours from home on the train .. Ok the car would be quicker, but the train is fun and if you book in advance there are some great deals. I only paid £5.90 return, from Newcastle to Whitby .
Nice one Brian, really good video ! I was there too you know, how didn't I see you hahaha !!! P.S. I did notice your selfie at the start , lovely dress ! I didn't know you were in to that sort of stuff haha ...
If the folk enjoy themselves and the shopkeepers in Whitby are happy, I don’t really see anything wrong. I’m sure some other seaside towns would like to see similar crowds. I could be wrong though .. as I don’t actually live in Whitby.
Many thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment. There's another 'event' at the end of month, which I hope to film too. Regards from the UK
From what I gather, most of these people are only in costume. A majority of them not actually Goth. I did however notice you managed to capture a few real Goths amongst the crowd. A few ladies rocking a death hawk. Lest we forget that Goth is a music based subculture and lifestyle.🕸️💀🦇
Yes, you are right. I had just happened to have booked a day trip from Newcastle and just discovered it was the Whitby Goth Weekend when I arrived. The train was pretty full, with a few strange outfits, but I didn't know what they were for. It was still an experience and fun to film ... better than simply walking along the seafront .. I can do that in Whitley Bay, about 70 miles up the coast.
@@brianmorrison9168 "Goggles serve many purposes in the world of steampunk such as keeping the wind on an airship from drying out your eyes, protection from dangerous chemicals for the mad scientist, and protection from sparks, and hot steam in the lab or boiler room." I guess you need to keep them handy when they aren't in use.
Very nice impromptu capture Brian. I am one of the Halloween Goths, seldom get to Whitby in summer. Of course the evenings are all about live music, fantastic events and awesome friends but what I love about Whitby town in the day on top of the obvious beauty, history and boat rides is the fact that Goths, Steampunks, Cosplayers and locals are all doing the Halloween thing, it's a delightful inclusive safe place to be not to mention family and dog friendly. My favorite town.
Sorry, just noticed your comment today .. something wrong with my YT notifications I think. yes, Whitby is a lovely wee town. I am taking a day trip there this weekend, from Whitley Bay (about 50 miles up the coast) It's actually a 3 hour train ride from Newcastle, but that's the whoile fun of it, especially at only £5.90 return. In April, my first rip to Whitby for 30+ years, I was surprised to see all the goths etc, so I ended up spending my couple of hours filming, rather than enjoying the sights. Hopefully Sunday will have good weather.
Thank you for your comment. I never knew the event was on, but just arrived and saw so many folk in costume. I wouldn't have known it was a 'goth event' from the costumes .. many just looked to me as if they were wearing 'old fashioned'clothing. Anyway, it looks like folk were enjoying themselves.
Great, I remember taking that video .. I think I was impressed with the outfits, so ran past you, to be able take the shot .. hope you didn't mind. I often asked if I could film people, but probably not every time. Regards from Whitley Bay
Yes, I meant to say .. the first of 2023 Somebody else asked that and I changed the title, but of course couldn't change the actual video .. I know for next time.
Thanks for your comment. I didn't know it was taking place. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Luckily I managed to make an OK video. Regards from Whitley Bay
Many thanks for the info. I'll look into it and maybe plan a visit. It seems Whitby is a fun place to be. I've already booked a day trip on 28th Oct to see the Ghosts Festival / Goth weekend again. i just hope I get back to Newcastle OK, as my wife and I are going away early the following morning. She'll not be too pleased when I am editing my video and she is packing.
I have to say, I'm really sorry, but a lot of those people look very uncomfortable at someone just randomly filming them without permission. I know you did this in all innocence, but it's just not the done thing - there is so much backlash from people who now won't even go to the events because they feel harassed by all the photographers and videographers who don't ask permission, either to take the pics/vids or to publish people online. Clearly there were people or groups who loved being filmed, but there are a lot who don't. It's not all about dressing up for others to capture, for many it's about dressing up for yourself and enjoying a freedom you perhaps don't have in normal life. There are quite a lot of chaps dressed in woman's clothing, etc. Imagine having a job like barrister or teacher or any other number of sensitive jobs and then spotting yourself in the background of someone's video on youtube. If you go again, please, check if your subjects are comfortable with you filming them. x
