2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Whitby, Yorkshire

Music, traditional dance, and storytelling are among the offerings during Whitby Folk Week, usually held the week before the late-August bank holiday. Pubs, halls, and sidewalks become venues for more than 600 performances by British artists.

This twice-yearly alternative music event, held in late April and late October, sees Whitby flooded with thousands of visitors from around the world to celebrate the Goth and steampunk subcultures and watch bands perform at various venues across town. Aficionados of Goth style head to the Bizarre Bazaar, a market with over 100 stalls.
