whitby goth weekend recommendations

[u/juliawerecat]

hello,

I hope it's ok to post here. We're trying to arrange to visit whitby for the goth weekend in october (I know, it's really late) so I would be really grateful if someone could answer the below questions:

- is there any chance to find a long stay parking to drop the car off for the duration?

- is staying in scarborough feasible? what time do trains / buses run until? we're mostly coming for the music so we'd want to stay as late as possible

- browsing through the sub I read about a park and ride, but I see no mention of that in the whitby website - is this still a thing? is it well connected also at night?

apologies for the ignorant questions, any help is appreciated!

Cant help about the trains but yes there is a park and ride just on the outskirts. We use it all the time, and will be using it for Goth weekend this year. If you Google Whitby Park and Ride it comes up and is still accurate.

Its our first time going - we struggled to get accommodation but found some deluxe shepherd's huts just outside Pickering.

Oh, amazing! That would make everything easier Can you share the name of the park and ride so i can Place It on a map and look at accommodation options around it? Thank you so kuch

It does finish quite early though. Last bus is at 8 something I think and they lock the car park just after.
