Whitby Gothic Weekend is a twice yearly event (April and October), and was founded in 1994 by Jo Hampshire. Initially, it was held once a year up until 1997, when it was then decided to hold it biannually. What started primarily as a weekend with a gothic theme, chosen probably for Whitby because of its Dracula connection, it has now snowballed into a huge a event. The whole town seems to be invaded by 'Goths', a friendly group of people, old and young alike, who like to dress in their gothic costumes and parade the streets or attend different events around Whitby. These include fairs, markets, even charity football matches! Many of the town's public houses have made the 'Goths' extremely welcome including The Elsinlore, The Little Angel and The Shambles. Whitby's nightclub, the Whitby Pavilion and the Metropole are also popular venues. There are a plethora of shops dedicated to the sale of both 'Gothic' and associated styles, selling clothing, jewellery, memorabilia, statues etc.

What are signs of someone being goth?
You need to feel goth to be goth. You don't have to dress goth, or write goth. You have to be someone that thinks about death and sorrow and the dead. In fact, a goth could live his/her life without ANYONE knowing that he/she is goth, except for themselves. It's about being goth inside. But if you really want to get into goth alot and you can manage to dress goth without your parents freaking out, then go for it!
