==Location and events== The "weekend" starts during the day on Friday and fringe events are held on Thursday, Sunday and Monday including club nights, markets, and a charity football match between visiting goth team Real Gothic, and local team Stokoemotiv Whitby. During the October/November event there is an independent custom car show, 'Whitby Kustom' in the grounds of West Cliff School. There are also several "meet ups" aimed at goths with a particular interest, e.g. [[Lolita fashion|Gothic Lolita]]. The main event was held in the town's largest venue, the [[Whitby Pavilion]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/fears-its-the-beginning-end-14792054|title=Fears it's 'the beginning of the end' for Whitby Goth Weekend|first=Laura|last=Love|date=16 June 2018|work=Gazette Live|access-date=2 March 2019}}</ref> (known as the Spa) and the Bizarre Bazaar 'Goth Market' is also held there and at Whitby Leisure Centre and the Brunswick Centre.<ref name=":DS:" /> Access to the Spa in the evening required a ticket and live bands played on both Friday and Saturday from 08:00 until about midnight. The Metropole was often used as an overspill venue for the Spa, with bands due to play the next evening/or playing from the previous evening. In recent years it has been used as a venue for the markets as well as the clubs, Manic Monday and Sexy Sunday. Crafty Cove (formerly RAW Nightclub) holding Shadow Factory and Monster Mash (Dead Skool Disco) and Abbey Wharf are used for official fringe events; other venues including The Resolution, The Rifle Club,The Metropole and the Whitby Rowing Club housing an official SOPHIE Lancaster Fundraising Event, Dark Souls and INVASION on the Sunday are used for unofficial events. For many years there was a 1980's music night held at Laughtons. The night would traditionally end with the song [[New Model Army (band)|Vagabonds]]. In 2010 this venue became a Wetherspoons Hotel, but the lineal descendant of the 80's night continues to take place on the Sunday night. ===Lineups=== (*) indicates headline act for each night/event
