Our Manifesto

We want our events to be inclusive, where all are welcome, we love our audience

We will try to bring less well known, hard to see artists & performers to Whitby to be part of our gathering, alongside established performers to celebrate the diversity of the gothic & alternative cultures so many of us love

We are committed to supporting our nominated partners through our events as well as supporting other events across the town through a spirit of cooperation

We believe our approach will enhance the shared experience which contributes to make visiting Whitby something not to be missed
