Things To See And Do

THE LARGEST GATHERING OF PEOPLE DRESSED AS VAMPIRES

On Thursday 26 May 2022, we marked the 125th anniversary of Bram Stoker's iconic novel, Dracula, by breaking the record for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Vampires with 1,369 vampires!

We were delighted that so many people embraced the idea and came together at Whitby Abbey, a major inspiration for Dracula, to celebrate the anniversary.

If you'd like to visit the abbey and learn more about the origins of Dracula, follow the link below.
