Horned, furred and fearsome, the Krampus parade through the streets of Whitby on the first Saturday of December.
These dates are based on when this event usually takes place and have not been confirmed by the organiser for this year. Please check before travelling.
A modern Whitby tradition borrowed from Alpine folklore: dozens of costumed Krampus, the horned companion of St Nicholas, rampage through the old town and along the harbour with bells, chains and switches, collecting for charity. Loud, strange and much loved.
