Whitby Goth Weekend May 2026

Whitby Goth Weekend is held twice a year, in spring (May) and autumn (late October/early November), and is one of the UK’s most well-known alternative events.

The weekend features live music, alternative markets, club nights and fringe events hosted across venues throughout Whitby. A major highlight is the Bizarre Bazaar, offering gothic fashion, jewellery, art and unique gifts.

Visitors can also enjoy the striking costumes and atmospheric setting that bring Whitby’s streets to life.
