The historic building, which is famously said to be the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s Dracula, wasn’t lit up for Halloween last year due to the coronavirus pandemic – but it is returning with a bang for 2021.

Aside from visitors being able to wander around the ruins after dark until October 31, this year Heritage England is also running another event.

A Night of Victorian Gothic is a “spell binding promenade performance”, which takes visitors through the ruins where they will meet different characters along the way.

The Victorian characters will be trying to deal with a supernatural force which has been unleashed on Whitby as part of the performance.

Visitors can keep warm up with hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows around a fire pit, while there will also be food and drink, including a Whitby Lighthouse Toddy – a gin, white wine, mulled-flavoured cocktail.
