With the Folk Horror Revival – Winter Ghosts event just days away. We felt it would make sense to post up some of the less exciting, but just as necessary information you will all  need when making decisions about what to see and when to eat. The following times are subject to change, especially for the Metropole event as much will depend on changeover between speakers/ bands.

Friday

For those making a weekend of it there are a couple of free associated events on Friday 15th December 2017.
At 5.30 pm at the Whitby Bookshop, 88 Church Street, author Chris Lambert will be giving readings from his Black Meadow and Wyrd Kalendar books.

Whilst at the Fleece Pub, also in Church Street from 9 pm local folk singers Rebecca Deniff and Mackie will be performing a selection of Murder Ballads.
(The Friday events are free entry but please feel free to pass a hat around for the performers )

One final important message:

Please note The Metropole event is a packed evening’s entertainment and therefore does not feature a break for an evening meal. The Metropole does however provide a good selection of meals up until 7pm. They have also informed us that they still have rooms available for those looking for somewhere to stay overnight. Contact The Metropole for prices and availability.
