Concerts, ceilidhs, singarounds and are all part of this informal and popular festival. There's a temporary campsite set up on the community college grounds so the party can continue well into the wee smalls. This being Whitby, there's also some story telling and a ghost walk. Oh, didn't you know? Count Dracula shipped his coffin full of soil (and himself, natch) to Whitby - it was wear he first came ashore in England, in Bram Stoker's tale. Whitby - by day - is also one of Yorkshire's prettiest coastal towns.
