Win the ultimate Whitby Dracula gothic experience. A gothic hamper inspired by Whitby, with ballet tickets to Dracula in London, this is a celebration of gothic storytelling, atmosphere, and the very best of Whitby.
1. Dracula Evening Ritual Hamper
A curated selection of award-winning produce from Whitby and the surrounding Yorkshire coast, designed to evoke the mood and mystery of the gothic classic.
2. Two tickets to Dracula Ballet
At The London Palladium
Saturday 30 May, 6pm performance
Following a complete sell-out at Sadler’s Wells and record-breaking seasons across Australia and New Zealand, the critically acclaimed Dracula arrives at The London Palladium for one week only to meet unprecedented demand. Set to masterpieces by Bach, Rachmaninov, Mozart, Liszt, Mussorgsky, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns and Debussy, this haunting retelling unleashes a collision of desire, torment and immortality. Choreographed by Joel Burke, the production features an international cast of alumni from the Mariinsky Theatre, English National Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, The Australian Ballet, Queensland Ballet and more. Featuring original music by Emmy Award-winning composer Jason Fernandez and award-winning set design by CTS, this production is destined to be love at first bite. A bold, cinematic reimagining of the gothic classic, Dracula is a work of visceral physicality and dark romanticism.

Few places are as closely tied to gothic literature as Whitby. It was here that Bram Stoker found inspiration for Dracula, from the dramatic coastline to the haunting abbey ruins overlooking the town. This hamper brings together that same sense of place, combining local produce with a story that has endured for generations.
There’s no better moment to celebrate all things gothic than during Whitby Goth Weekend, when the town comes alive with visitors, costume, music and a shared love of dark culture.
We’re running this competition across April and into the Goth Weekend itself, with the winner drawn at the end of Whitby Goth Weekend (Sunday 3 May), making it part of the celebration.
From Whitby’s gothic heritage to a night at the ballet in London, this is a prize designed for lovers of dark stories, atmosphere, and unforgettable experiences.
Good luck
P.S The hamper will be on our website for a limited time only to buy at full price!
