The Krampus Ball at The Royal Hotel

As darkness falls over Whitby and the noise of WKR Zwolf fades, the night celebrations begin. On Saturday 5th December, the doors of the magnificent Royal Hotel Ballroom will once again open for the Krampus Ball, an unforgettable night where folklore, music and mischief come together beneath one roof. With its grand Victorian surroundings, stage, dance floor and bar, the historic ballroom provides the perfect setting for an evening unlike any other, as Krampus, witches, beasts, saints and creatures of legend gather to celebrate the wyld heart of winter. Live music, performances, spectacle, surprises and the unmistakable atmosphere has made the Krampus Ball one of the highlights of the Whitby Krampus Run weekend. Whether you arrive in elaborate costume or simply ready to embrace the spirit of the season, you’ll become part of a night where old traditions are reimagined with WKR's own unmistakable twist. Polish your hooves, sharpen your horns and prepare your finest feral attire. The Ball awaits. Live performances from Ruby Tingle Tengu Taiko Drummers Inkubus Sukkubus
