Whitby Krampus Run 2025 – Fearful Folklore & Festive Mayhem After a storm-defying 10th anniversary that saw Krampus triumph over Storm Daragh, WKR launches into its 11th year (ELF) with more attractions across Whitby, uniting the community and offering visitors a magical, alternative twist on the festive season.
The streets will once again echo with bells, chains, and the clatter of cloven hooves as one of the UK’s most striking winter folklore events returns — bigger, bolder, and beastlier than ever. ⸻
