Whitby is undoubtedly called the "Gothic capital of Britain" is not surprising considering that in two weekends of the year (around April and October) a large number of people gather in the city the celebration of 'Gothic' all things.
The original idea belonged to Jo Hampshire, who, in 1994, along with a group of friends, became the first Whitby Goth Festival. Whitby was probably chosen because of their connections with Dracula (Bram Stoker was on holiday in Whitby and drew inspiration for the novel of the Abbey). As the annual event became more and more popular than the party decided to hold twice a year.
