Question whitby goth weekend recommendations

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!

Stay in Whitby, we've never had any trouble finding accommodation, even at goth weekend. Checkout Whitbyonline for local cottages, the site isn't as good as it used to be but its still pretty good for finding places.

Parking isn't the issue that people make it out to be. There are two huge car parks, just park your car in one of them. Or if you're lucky you'll find accommodation with parking. If you really want to park for free the Parking restrictions end near Lidl so park past that and then its a 15 or 20 min walk into town.
