Robin Hood's Bay, near Whitby, gearing up for its 2024 Victorian Weekend
Villagers in Robin Hood’s Bay are to once again enjoy a Christmas with a difference with the final preparations being made for this year’s Victorian Weekend.
The event, which this year runs from Friday December 6 to Sunday December 8, is so popular it even attracts Royalty – keep an eye out for Queen Victoria in the seaside village over the course of the weekend.
Victorian Weekend begins on the Friday afternoon, where you can enjoy a Christmas tree festival of light and Christingle opening service at St Stephen’s Church as well as well as carols round the tree and lights switch on at The Dock.
A lantern parade runs from the Bank Top to the Dock from around 3.30pm.
The Saturday and Sunday see a whole plethora of events taking place – from workshops, quizzes and ghost walks to Christmas carols round the tree as well as live music.
Highlights on Saturday include a biscuit dunking competition at Hotel Victoria and a Victorian projection by Animated Objects.
A duck race to raise funds for the RNLI takes place on the Sunday with ducks on sale at Muir Lea Stores, and there is a prize-giving at The Dock for the best dressed female, male, child, business and dog.
Also watch out over the weekend for a fire eater, roving magician and opera singer.
There is also a prize treasure hunt to keep families entertained, where you can win 12 months of digital editions of the Baytown Chronicle.
