</table>&#x200b;</div>The <b>Whitby Goth Festival</b> is a fictitious event held in Whitby, Yorkshire. It is a music festival for goths ranging over the period of three days and two nights. It is based upon the real world <i>Whitby Goth Weekend</i>, founded by Jo Hampshire in 1994. Whether the events are one in the same is as of yet unknown.
