VISITORS are being invited to discover the darker side of history while viewing soaring gothic ruins ruins in a whole new light.
The grandeur of Whitby Abbey will be illuminated in a breathtaking display of colour and light for the next few days.
After exploring the ruins, visitors will be able to hear tales from Count Dracula and come face to face with a coven of witches.
Meet a sinister witch-finder to learn about the devious tricks of his trade, and keep out the cold with hot food and drink.
The abbey was the partial inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel Dracula, and, lit up in this way, English Heritage believes the stark, dark history of the site becomes ever clearer.
The event runs until Saturday, November 2, between 6pm and 9pm each evening.
