🐋🌊 DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN GO WHALE WATCHING OFF THE YORKSHIRE COAST?! 😍

You don’t need to travel halfway around the world to see whales — late summer and autumn is whale-watching season right here in Yorkshire.

🐋 Minke whales can be spotted off the Yorkshire coast as they follow shoals of fish through the North Sea.

And keep your eyes peeled for…

🐬 Bottlenose dolphins
🌊 Harbour porpoises
🦭 Seals
🐦 Gannets and other seabirds

📍 Wildlife-watching boat trips head out from the Yorkshire coast, including Whitby and Staithes, with September a great time to get out on the water.

Of course, they’re wild animals, so sightings can never be guaranteed — but that makes seeing one even more special. ❤️

Who would you take whale watching off the Yorkshire coast? 🐋👇

📲 Send this to your Yorkshire adventure partner and save it for later!

G's Bar & Kitchen Whitby

A little bit of honest marketing from G’s…

September arrives, the summer rush settles down and we get to enjoy G’s at a slightly more relaxed pace.
So we’ve created a few Monday–Thursday offers to keep our lovely team busy — and hopefully make your September a little nicer too.

No clever sales pitch required. The offers speak for themselves.

Robin Hood’s Bay reveals plans for a new Victorian Weekend in 2026. 🎄✨🎩

Last year, it looked as though one of Robin Hood’s Bay’s best-loved Christmas traditions had come to an end.

After more than 30 years, the organisers of the original Victorian Weekend announced December 2025 would be the final event, ending a festive tradition part of village life since 1994.

But Victorian Christmas in Bay isn’t disappearing quite so easily…

This December, The New Victorian Weekend will take place on 5th–6th December 2026, kicking off a brand-new series of celebrations as part of the Robin Hood’s Bay Advent Festival. 🎄

And it won’t be the only festive weekend to look forward to:

✨ 5th–6th December – The New Victorian Weekend
🏴‍☠️ 12th–13th December – Pirates & Smugglers Weekend
🎅 19th–20th December – Family Weekend

Plans are still coming together, but visitors can expect a festive mix of live music, Christmas carols, entertainment, market stalls, displays, and the return of the famous biscuit dunking competition.

For the New Victorian Weekend, traditional dress is strongly encouraged too, with the hope of once again filling the Bay’s cobbled streets, alleyways and historic buildings with Victorian characters and a little Christmas nostalgia.

It might be a new event with a new name, but it’s lovely to know that Victorian Christmas spirit will be returning to Robin Hood’s Bay in 2026. ❤️🎩🎄

❤️ Burgsy in York

Burgsy’s began in 2013 with a tiny burger van on an industrial estate in Whitby.

A few moves and rather a lot of burgers later, we’re back to what suits us best: a small, cosy restaurant where Patryk cooks and Marta welcomes you.

The addresses have changed over the years, but the important things haven’t—handmade burgers, food prepared from scratch and a warm welcome.
