The seaside town of Whitby, found on the North Yorkshire coast, has had an annual pub crawl each Easter since 1999, and in its 27th year, the much-loved event is set to take place this Saturday, 4th April. Whether you enjoy a tipple or would like to go along for the vibes, it’s sure to be a whole lotta fun.
The Whitby Easter Pub Crawl challenge has 34 Pubs of Whitby that feature and bring a lively Easter energy to the popular seaside town. Starting at The Little Angel at 11am and finishing at The Angel Hotel at 11pm, the 12-hour event invites locals and visitors alike to take part in a pub crawl like no other. There’s no entry fee, and everyone is welcome.
It’s a firm Easter tradition in Whitby, which offers you a chance to soak up Whitby’s rich character like no other way. Whether you want to try and tick off every pub or just dip in and out throughout the day, it’s sure to be an exciting event.
Some folk decide to dress up for the occasion, but that’s just an optional bit of fun. According to The Scarborough News, the event is organised by Lee Waring, who runs Waring Building and Roofing.
