The North Yorkshire coastal town hosted fans from around the world to its biannual Goth Festival, which has been running since 1994. Visitors sampled live music, a Bizarre Bazaar alternative market and were able to meet gothic authors. The bazaar, with more than 100 stalls, sold goods 'from the delicious and adorable to the mystical and macabre'. (All pictures by Richard Ponter)
