Really lovely video and captured the spirit of the amazing weekend. It seemed to be much busier in your vlog than ours so guess we managed to miss some of the crowds 😀 Fab vlog thank you x Rachel & David
Thanks for sharing I was born in the Northeast and love Whitby. Walked up to the Abbey hundreds of times and I miss Haddock and chips with proper vinegar so much.
dear dark and beautiful friends. how fangtastic to see people who are at the festival....how much I miss everything about this..enjoy yourselves dear darkling s.darkling iss...elyzabeth Countess Wild.. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Have to say these goths fascinate me, didn't realise there were so many with older people and Orientals joining in the fun, the costumes are amazing thanks for the post, all new ground to me.
Hi my name is Christopher Evans i am fascinated to this whitby goth weekend i only live in Teesside Stockton-on-Tees not far from there and i hoping to go next year with a group or someone or people or help on a stall Even there is Steampunk event on the Arc this weekend
Holy smokes! I would quickly become unsettled and aggravated in the midst of such a pressing crowd. I like open space. What I found very agreeable was the fact that no one (or very near to no one) was smoking. (I did see one woman appearing to vape.) Was there some ordinance in effect for the event, or is it indeed the case that smoking is becoming a rarity? If this was, say, in the 1970s, the air would be thick and hazy for all the burning tobacco. I grew up in that world, and despised it.
You missed the actual Goths. Whitby Goth Weekend / Tomorrow's Ghosts Festival happens at the Spa or up at the Brewery. It's a music festival. None of these dress-ups posing around the streets are Goths. What you've covered here is Whitby Halloween Fancy Dress Weekend. Goths do not wear costumes; we look the same every day. These people dress up once or twice a year in order to get photographed and filmed. We avoid going into town during the day as it's completely taken over by the fancy dressers and photographers and is just unbearable nowadays. I would love it if, just once, someone uploaded a video of the actual Goth festival. The Mission headlined at the Spa on Friday night. That's where the Goths were, not posing around the streets in Halloween costumes.
@@benfletcher9659 Yeah, I have noticed that most of the dress-ups seem to be older. Maybe older people have more time and money to spend on elaborate fancy dress costumes?
@@randomgirlonyt3221 There's a "scream factory" nearby where everyone dresses up like zombies. Filipina nurses are the second biggest group of customers after native English
I disliked Whitby and the Goths; the place I found wet and the people rude. They had the fine qualities which bore me - thrift and industry and long-faced holiness, and the young women are mostly great genteel boisterous things who are no doubt bedworthy enough if your taste runs that way. (One acquaintance of mine who had a Goths clergyman’s daughter described it as like wrestling with a sergeant of dragoons.) The men I found solemn, hostile, and greedy, and they found me insolent, arrogant, and smart.

Great atmosphere and some brilliant outfits, what I didn’t like was so many people walking & climbing on graves, really disrespectful 😞
True say. Thanks for watching

There was no ordinance in effect regarding smoking, Thanks for watching

Why are most of them 50+? Nothing Goth about them, its fancy dress.
Same as every other video of "Goths" at Whitby - not a single Goth, just the fancy dress brigade in town.
@@shona1578I wonder why they are all of the 50+ age group though, very few 20-30 year olds doing it.
@@benfletcher9659 Yeah, I have noticed that most of the dress-ups seem to be older. Maybe older people have more time and money to spend on elaborate fancy dress costumes?
Thanks for watching
@@shona1578 Or repressed regret from not doing it when younger?

Why didn't you dress up?
Some don’t believe in dressing up or don’t feel comfortable it’s fine
@@randomgirlonyt3221 There's a "scream factory" nearby where everyone dresses up like zombies. Filipina nurses are the second biggest group of customers after native English
Maybe because the Goth festival is precisely that, a 'Goth' festival, a music based festival and not a silly fancy dress parade
@@jimpickens4067 I will rephrase my question just to keep you happy then :- Why didn't you dress up like a Goth?
@@vaughnwilliams1208 and how does one dress like a Goth as you put it?

maybe you're having issues because you're an absolute bellend.
Insolent and arrogant certainly.
But smart?
Stay away then !
Maybe you're just the sad arsehole whom thinks you can have everything your way 💀💀💀💀💀
these steampunk people need to stay the hell at home on goth weekends. its ruins the gothic theme
