Heritage
Whitby Pirate Festival
a weekend of swashbuckling spectacle
About
Whitby's dramatic harbour, abbey ruins and maritime heritage provide a perfect backdrop, blurring the line between history and theatrical play. The atmosphere is exuberant and inclusive, with elaborate costumes encouraged but never required, making it easy for newcomers to join in.
