Whitby Abbey is going to be spectacularly lit up again next month, as Illuminated Abbey returns to the site.

Whitby Abbey posted on its Facebook page yesterday: "The moment you’ve all been waiting for… After two years Illuminated Abbey is back!

"Enjoy the Gothic ruins lit up with spectacular illuminations and see live performances as you wander round the abbey this Halloween."
