Women of Whitby

Today was a rare day off for me. We opened on Sunday for the season and are already fully booked for the coming weekend. So, I took the opportunity to escape, leaving Mark behind to hold the fort! 😀

After going for a swim, I went to Whitby Museum to check out the new exhibitions for 2024.

The first is Our Lasses - Inspirational Women of Whitby. It celebrates women associated with the town - everyone from St Hilda, Abbess of Whitby in the 600s, to Beth Mead, professional footballer and lioness!

Upstairs, there is an exhibition about Steampunk, which describes what it is and explains the phenomenon that attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world to the Whitby Steampunk Weekends.Læs mere
