I know a lot of our guests have enquired about Whitby Krampus Run after the Wedding and their Summer visits so here are all the details!
The beginning of the launch for WKR ELF
The Krampus Ball in partnership with the Royal Hotel Whitby
Full program of the weekend's events to follow
Whitby Krampus Run 2025 – Fearful Folklore & Festive Mayhem
After a storm-defying 10th anniversary that saw Krampus triumph over Storm Daragh, WKR launches into its 11th year (ELF) with more attractions across Whitby, uniting the community and offering visitors a magical, alternative twist on the festive season.
The streets will once again echo with bells, chains, and the clatter of cloven hooves as one of the UK’s most striking winter folklore events returns — bigger, bolder, and beastlier than ever.
Royal Whitby Events at Hotel Whitby plays host to WKR over the weekend as HQ for stalls, WKR merch and other activities
