You can ‘Count’ on another great experience at the site later in the year when you can watch Bram Stoker's legendary tale of Dracula being performed live in the ruins of Whitby Abbey, a major inspiration for the author.

Performed by the fantastic Time Will Tell theatre group, audiences are sure to be transported into the iconic story of Dracula.

That event is to run from July 20 to August 26.
