Goth weekend in Whitby

Twice a year Whitby on the North East coast of England holds a Goth festival visited by Goths from all over the UK. Goths are attracted to Whitby because it was the scene of the orignal Dracula story. Here are some pictures of the few hours I spent in Whitby on Saturday October 29 2005.
I have not been able to go to other festivals because of a lack of time. However, I am going to the April 2007 event and spending the Friday and Saturday nights in Whitby. If anyone want's photographing - please contact me.

Was in Whitby for 2009 Goth weekend by chance and thought it was great. I especially liked the idea of the whole town getting involved and loved the window displays in the charity shops.

Wonderful photos. I'm the one with the red hair in 3306 and 3392. Keep up the good work, I'll be checking back now that I know about this place! To the person who thinks being a goth is disgusting, you should really get to a Gothic Weekend and educate yourself. Keep snapping, Mr Clements!

This is such a bizarre captivating gallery, I just have to vote for it! Great work as always, Alan.

As always, your Goths have stolen my heart. OUCH! Must admit to a definite Carolyn Jones fetish, myself. Nice coverage. More, please? Hope you gave out your cards aplenty. Get some studio time in with these dark butterflies. Voted. Ells
