Robin Hood’s Bay Victorian Weekend

Key Info

When: 7th – 8th December 2024

Where: Robin Hood’s Bay

Tickets: Free event

We highly recommend attending the Victorian Weekend at Robin Hood’s Bay if you’re staying with us in the run to Christmas. This traditional event is a highlight of the festive event calendar and promises a memorable day out for all the family.

The historic fishing village is decorated in colourful lights for the occasion and many people don period costumes. Step back in time and enjoy simple pleasures, including Christmas carols, market stands and tasty food and drink.

The Victorian Weekend is the perfect opportunity to indulge in a spot of Christmas shopping. Treat your loved ones to a range of gifts from some of the best artisan makers from across North Yorkshire. There will be a wide selection of homeware, toys, jewellery and decorations to purchase.

Family-friendly entertainment

The olden day entertainment is one of our favourite things about the Victorian Weekend. Children will love watching Punch and Judy, the duck race, ‘welly wanging’ and visiting Santa Clause in his grotto at the Bay Hotel. There will also be face painting, arts and crafts, live music performances and much more. 

Adults can try a variety of meads, mulled wine and tasty mince pies. You can also accompany Baytown Bobby through the narrow streets as he recounts stories from his ‘Old Bay Beat’.

Where to stay

Whitby Holiday Park is ideally placed to enjoy the Victorian Weekend at Robin Hood’s Bay. Bring your own touring caravan, stay in our cosy holiday homes or treat yourself to something a bit special and book one of our quirky glamping pods with private hot tub.

 However you decide to stay, you’ll receive a warm welcome from our friendly team! On park facilities, include a well-maintained amenities block, Jet Bar and Bistro and children’s play park.
