Goth Weekend Part 1

I live in Yorkshire as you know and in Yorkshire there is a small town called Whitby which is famous for the tale of Dracula and the voyages of Captain Cook, as the ship Endevour was said to have been birthed in Whitby bay. As the nature of both of these subjects are very historical, the town is too, stone buildings and cottages dating back to as early as the 14 century and some are even older! A landmark of the town is the Abbey which adds a very Gothic feel to the streets and that also attracts a lot of tourists.
Whitby hosts a few festivals every year including folk week and the more renound Whitby Goth Weekend.

I don't own this photo unfortunately as it is a beautiful shot. I feel the abbey is photographed too much and it has become boring as so many people have photos of it, so the shot really isn't unique but the place defiantly is... I haven't had a chance to go up to the abbey for a long time so I will have to do that as soon as I can.

Goth Weekend is one of my favorite festivals and has an array of attractions including markets, themed night club discos, pubs and heritage walks as well as a change to show off all your goth booty!!! There are gigs at a few of the pubs and at the pavilion the main big show takes place. I had the pleasure of attending the friday show, where drinks are reasonably priced, the people and staff there are friendly and some amazing acts preform. These include, Pussycat and the dirty Johnsons, Zombina and the skeletons, doctor and the medics (not so keen on them but they where a good laugh) and the madman himself Voltaire.
