Robin Hood’s Bay Victorian Weekend

Friday 3 December – Sunday 5 December

Robin Hood's Bay is gearing up for its 17th annual Victorian Weekend and is still going strong.

The event sees the streets flooded once again with visitors decked out in their finest Victorian costumes to enjoy a number of events many of which are of the period.
These events have previously seen folk bands singing bawdy tales, Punch and Judy shows and a number of crafts, such as spinning being demonstrated.

The first Victorian Weekend was held in 1994 and was created to promote business in the village in the traditionally quiet period prior to Christmas. The event has been staged annually and has grown larger each year.
Where in the past the RNLI has benefited from visitors to the weekend it has recently become more closely nit with the event itself, stepping forward from marshalling the event to organising parts of the programme.
