James Ray pull out, Manuskript pull in

James Ray has unexpectedly pulled out from this coming weekend’s performance, which will come as a shock to many looking forward to this. However all is not lost. Manuskript (bless they’re cotton-rich socks [10% polyester]) have bravely and happily jumped to the fore at short notice and pledged their all to get on stage instead. Lord luv ‘em!

Parking in Whitby

As off-season free parking starts on the 1st of November, you will unfortunately have to pay for parking in the West Cliff car parks. There is no all day parking by the Resolution pub, and vendors in there will have to park in public car parks after loading and unloading their vehicles which can be done by parking in the Cliff Street car park behind Safeways.

Please do not fail to do so as WGW management cannot be responsible for any fines or tickets incurred due to vendors vehicles being parked in the West Cliff area without parking permits or pre-paid parking.

More information from Scarborough Borough Council.

Darren Shan Book Signing

Best-selling author of children’s vampire stories, Darren Shan, will be at The Whitby Bookshop on Saturday 30 October between 2pm and 4pm. He will be signing copies of his latest book, Sons of Destiny, but also copies of all his backlist titles in the Saga of Darren Shan series. His visit to Whitby is the finale in a national tour and Darren is said to be very much looking forward to Whitby because his visit coincides with Halloween and Goth weekend.
