About Revenant IV - Whitby Goth Weekend (WGW) - Autumn

At The Royal Hotel Whitby, Revenant IV - Whitby Goth Weekend (WGW) - Autumn 2026 runs as an alternative music event in Whitby from 30 October to 1 November 2026. Three nights are scheduled. Whitby Goth Weekend began in 1994 as a pen-friend meet arranged by Jo Hampshire at the Elsinore Pub, went twice yearly in 1997, and official materials now put WGW at over 8,000 visitors bi-annually. The organisers list Revenant as an official Whitby Goth Weekend fringe event at the hotel.

Who Is It For?

The event data runs through alternative, alternative pop, indie, metal and punk, keeping it within the goth and alternative circuit. Newcomers, regulars, families and friends are explicitly welcomed by the organisers. Under-18s must attend with a parent or legal guardian. WGW's official FAQ describes the wider weekend as a family event with over 100 indoor stalls.
