Brilliant 😊...I love how you just captured the normality of people just wandering about...so busy but such a fantastic atmosphere...big well done to all the staff who worked around Town all weekend x
Thanks so much for doing this. I screen shot a couple of the frames for my own use only and they were great. I can't tell you the first one as I didn't check the timing but the second was at 24.24. Spooky or what? One of the best stills I have ever seen simply gorgeous in mono . Well done that man. Regards Jake.
WOW,WOW,WOW, got to be the best footage ive seen ,what a turn out, the capture of people unaware realy had me rewinding time again, lots of hard work by many must have made this one of the best ive ever seen ,AMAZING 👍 thankyou glen,brilliant 👍
I visited Saturday and met Chinese students who are studying Archeology at Durham University from Fujian Province, that was just on the bus .. and a couple one from Thailand, and her friend from Shanghai in the Royal Fisheries cafe.
Great footage, enjoyed it! 👍🏻 Excuse my ignorance (I know I could 'Google' but who trusts what that says nowadays?!) but can you explain to me exactly what being a goth means from the horses mouth please?? 🤷🏻♂️ Genuine question out of curiosity...
I met a fellow in Casiopi in Corfu a few years ago . He came from Whitby and was a big part of the Goth scene there . He told me that he actually lived in a disused pub . I can't remember his name, but he had long white hair and a very long white beard . Some of the local Greeks thought he was a Greek orthodox munk, or at least that's what he told me . I have been looking at the variety of pictures of the event and have not seen him in any . I am wondering if anyone knows the fellow I'm talking about and whether he's still involved and doing well.
I wonder who that might be Bob. Ive been to Kassiopi, a long long time ago now. Just thinking of disused pubs. There was the bottom house that was a pub at bottom of green lane. Cant think of many others off the top of my head.
Cheers Glenn good work yet again, i have seen on few comments on other streams by other streamers asking where the genuine goths are as most seem to be cosy play and fancy dress. I would never go to whitby when it is that crowded with all the inflated prices best to wait till mid feb mid week frost and snow on the ground and not a soul about
Yeah, those handful of people post the same rubbish every year. I never worry about Who comes and who'se a real Goth. I think those people asking the questions are mostly loosers, who we can cope without. Whitby, I believe, welcomes everyone. Isn't it Ironic that the ethos of the Sophie campaign is one of acceptance, yet year after year we still have these judgemental folk unable to accept people just wanting to enjoy themselves in a costume of their choice, which I hasten to add, they always do, despite what the detractors have to say about it.
Oh my gosh I knew I spotted you on Saturday! At around 18:14 you've caught me enjoying an ice cream! The guy with the cane and top had is my dad! When we got to the end of that street and saw the house with the kippers, I told him I'd seen it in one of your videos!
Great video nicely captured! Just a shame nothing on the West Cliff - there's so much happening and it would alleviate some of the crowding if people visited the markets and events near the Whalebones - such a fabulous photo op too! Come back in April! Loads happening at The Pavilion.
It all gets a bit official on The West side. Ive witnessed some quite unpleasant comments and behaviours from some event organisers. The lady who got thrown out the metropole being one. Think she ran sexy Sunday ? Always a lot to say, and not much of it very nice.. I like to stay clear of nonsense that comes with official events, committees and commercial ventures. Loving the fringe far too much to venture away from town centre.
@@thewhitbyphotographer That's a shame - we at Whitby Pavilion are promoting inclusivity and The Gathering is not commercial at all, we are a group of traders who have taken over the April event from this year, back next year with loads for everyone.
I like the way Whitby still keep Goth Culture alive more of a carnival person my self Fastnacht & Octoberfest. In City’s like Cologne Carnival they go mad for it each year or if you too the Dutch city of Breda, they have character like Vizie Jack & such sadly the U.K. does not celebrate a lot of fun events.
Wow!! What a wonderful spectacle, the make-up and clothes was awesome, and i am really gladdened to see such a wide age range too. I loved the snapshot of the guy smoking in black and white, that was class! Does this happen every year at the same time ? cos i would love to be there to see that in person. Thx Glenn for a really good vid! 🥰
At last, it's a bit of fun that the councils haven't banned or charged high prices for. Though they might be wearing the pavements? Well done to Whitby for hosting this again!
Great footage.. I've noticed the weekend seems to have got away from the original ‘Goth Subculture’ of old, based mainly around the music of particular Goth bands and the style that came from an original subsection of Punk, starting with bands like the Damned, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Alien Sex Fiend etc.. But today it seems to have lost that edge and just become ‘weekend gothic fancy dress or ‘gothic steampunk fancy dress’. I'm not trying to detract from those people that obviously enjoy dressing up for the weekend, I'm just saying its lost its youthful rebellious subculture edge, like those who lived a Goth lifestyle and dressed this way 24/7, not just a couple of times a year.
Goth has always been about the dark and macabre, not necessarily just the music (which I do like and go to alternative clubs regularly), most of that music isn't goth it's post punk, dark wave, new wave, so the actual subculture splits off into various niche subcultures, inclusive of folk, metal etc.,. As long as you appreciate the dark and macabre in life I think it's perfectly fine to visit, dress up in the clothes and celebrate all things dark. I've studied subcultures since I was in my teens and I'm now in my 20s, so I think the gatekeeping in what is supposed to be an all accepting society is honestly not very welcome.
Although it was a brilliant weekend, helped by the good weather and I had a great weekend, it is a bit sad that it has morphed from a "goth" weekend into a fancy dress/streampunk weekend. It was far better in the 90s when it was pure goth. Bit of a shame really.
Yes I think it should now become Whitby halloween weekend, and the Goths, what left of them, maybe about ten or eleven, go off and have a get together in a small pub, maybe in Bird.
These people aren't Goths though. Just normal people in Whitby for Halloween. Goths don't wear costume and don't aimlessly walk about town looking for thier photo taken.
Doesnt matter. I loved seeing whoever they were and what ever they wore, and given the amount of smiling faces, a whole bunch of other people had a great time too. Thats the Whitby I was born in and have lived in for all my life, there are no rules to who can come here and have fun.
@@thewhitbyphotographer I think the same way about if Football or Rugby was permanently banned or stopped, expect you might feel the same way I do about this though. You don't care because your not a Goth or affected by it and I am not a Sports fan. The town is fickle, I remember when they used to put signs up "no Goths" soon changed their song when they smelled £££. Now the public don't feel out of place the town would happily see Goths out and replaced by normals in costume.
@@benfletcher9659 I think the people who didnt want goths still don't want goths here. The ones I know who are anti Goth are not in the tourist industry and still speak out about the problems the goth weekend causes. As for sports. whats that got to do with who is allowed to come to Whitby two weekends a year. It's a nonsense analogy. I come across this problem very often with Goths, they scream for acceptance, yet want to ban everyone from a seaside town they dont live in every October, thats not very accepting is it. Claim to be progressive yet are the most unprogressive judgmental people I meet.
@@thewhitbyphotographer We originally went to Whitby to be around others Goths. It was 5 nights of clubs, gigs, bands and markets. It was cheap, out of season and not busy. The Steampunsk then started latching onto the weekend. walking around aimlessly getting photographed. People then assumed wrongly we all wanted our photo taken. Photograph's circulated, more not Goths came to gawp at us, more Steampunks, more photographers, more Goth spotters and more public to gawp. Prices increased stupidly and the town stupidly busy that its avalanched out of control. I have nothing against people wanting to wear costume normally but you don't need to go to Whitby for this. Its caused prices to go up and get silly busy when they could quite easily have gone to York, Harrogate, Bath or any nice city (they are not going for the bands, the venues etc). It would have been great and made something interesting for those places. Unfortunately they all go to Whitby, where they won't stand out and we have been pushed out. I hope you can see my point of view.
Never seen a seaside town with no children before 🤷🏼♂️.. I mean if you did happen to take kids and you accidentally lost them… jeez, the thoughts that would be running through your head would be your worst gothic nightmare 🫣🥴
Really sad to see a once great alternate festival turn into a fancy dress parade. The only real goth festivals are to be found in Germany and Poland. And cheaper to stay than Whitby
@@thewhitbyphotographer Great video, just sad to see a couple of camper vans daubed, TOURISTS GO HOME. The bars love it, but the locals really hate it nowadays.
well I guess its not for everyone. But 99.9% the feedback has been positive, and if you made it that far you've learnt me some cash so huge thanks for that.
I think. It's a con job weekend and a bleeding freak show now it used to be as cracking good weekend 😢 B&Bs well. Over priced camping same people dressed up in some garb,
Nothing make people more beautiful than dressing imaginatively. Thanks for posting. Loved this, can't wait to come along when I return to UK.
The grey couple ,brilliant idea.
As a Goth who hates crowds, thank you for filming this so I can enjoy the scenes without having to be there.
Thankyou Rhianon :)

Thankyou for the kind comment :)
Like Chimney Sweep
Bus Driver did not know Road was closed!
That looked like a long day, but many thanks for the video it's brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed it
Sorry to have missed this. Love the attire
Good for Whitby economy and businesses 😊
The sights you see when one doesn't have a camera lol great video 👍👍💯👍👍
Shame I couldn't make the Saturday, came Sunday - much quieter. Nice to see, cheers!
Absolutely fantastic video, superb , wow so busy !!!!
Thankyou Amanda :)
Looking through this to find myself. It was my birthday and the weekend was chaos. Absolutely loved it though
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like Whitby. There is something about the place.
...great footage! ...the couple that looked like they'd stepped out of an old b/w photo were quite unique eh!! ...cheers, Steve...
Nice one
Fantastic video, wow never seen Whitby so busy.
Packed solid.
I visited Saturday and met Chinese students who are studying Archeology at Durham University from Fujian Province, that was just on the bus .. and a couple one from Thailand, and her friend from Shanghai in the Royal Fisheries cafe.
Its great to know that people from around the globe love the town.
Brilliant Vid as always 👍
Thanks again!
Today was such a good day in Whitby I absolutely loved it 😊
Was there saturday with my pal. Place was utterly rammed. In all my decades of visiting Whitby I've never seen it so busy - not even in peak summer.
Goth weekend is always the busiest time. Especially the autumn one, but it gets the very busiest when the weather is kind.
Wow absolutely stunning,the time and effort these people put into this is incredible.When does this his event take place.
Still shot of guy smoking. Black and white image. Just took 3rd and final place. Goth wicked weekend. Thanku @whitbyphotographer....Respect.
Great footage, enjoyed it! 👍🏻 Excuse my ignorance (I know I could 'Google' but who trusts what that says nowadays?!) but can you explain to me exactly what being a goth means from the horses mouth please?? 🤷🏻♂️ Genuine question out of curiosity...
Enjoyed your video so much. All those that made the effort to dress up should have received at least a huge discount at the bars and restaurants.
Absolutely!
😮 the best thing was the swing bridge taking all that weight lol 😮

Theres another next April. Hopefully you can make that one.
@thewhitbyphotographer sorry but I need at least ten years to listen to the Cures new album!!!!!

Hi Chris, it's twice a year, spring and autumn, but the autumn one seems to hold that special bit of magic.
At last, it's a bit of fun that the councils haven't banned or charged high prices for. Though they might be wearing the pavements? Well done to Whitby for hosting this again!
Great work as always Glenn. Come on now, who does the best fish & chips in Whitby?
Magpie Of course.
Do they have any Goth bands play over the festival. ?
Yes I believe they do. Google whitby goth weekend. also tomorrows ghosts festival
Nice one glen.
GAWD
I was there 2yrs ago. It seems a lot busier now.
Only hearses should be allowed to drive through.
I agree :)
excellent footage ,thanks ,enjoyed the nightlife ,no one seems to do the Whitby goth nightlife

Don't forget to THUMBS UP !
Gold bejewelled faced blond hair lady officially 2nd place.✨️❣️
@07:58 pleasant pheasant pluckers . . lol
Hot roast chestnut van❤
Looked amazing :)
So where`s all the Goth music?...They just spend all weekend walking around in circles looking at each other and posing?
Havent a clue, Im not into goth things. I just record what I see in the town I was born in.
magnificent coverage of an event that leaves me nonplussed!
Jeremy Thorpe, back from the dead after 10 years in black and white at 5:14 is one of the most original efforts but where's his Liberal Party rosette?

There were lots of children there
Where are all the young Goths? They don’t go to Whitby Goth weekend any more. I wonder why? 🤔
Edit: ok, so I saw a few…
Them shoes they wear must feel like a milk crate on yer foot

@@thewhitbyphotographer It only changed because townies decided Halloween was actually fun.
