About this event
Saturday 15th August 2pm FREE Whitby Krampus Run: A Tale of Mischief, Myth, and Mayhem . Now the solstice is over and the nights are starting to grow longer, come and meet the legendary Krampus himself! He is the horned, fearsome companion of St Nicholas, and the punisher of the naughty people. Join us for a dark yet informative talk and interactive conversation with Laurence Mitchell of Whitby Krampus Run, exploring how he and his horned companion, Elaine Edmunds, summoned this Alpine tradition all the way to Whitby. Blending history, humour, and a touch of mischief, the talk uncovers how Krampus has been reimagined with both respect and playful rebellion. If you have been incredibly bad this year, this is your chance to be chased by Krampus… come if you dare.
