The Gothic Gathering is an exciting initiative courtesy of Raychel McGuin, who has been one of the organisers of the Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival for a number of years. When Tomorrow’s Ghosts announced they would not be continuing with the Spring Festival, Raychel stepped in. The format and location will remain the same, with the Gothic Market taking place at the Spa Pavillion on the West Cliff as in previous years. The evening’s entertainment however will change. Plans are currently being finalised for a masquerade ball on the Friday evening and a cabaret event on Saturday in the theatre.

As well as this, Raychel will be producing an event newspaper The Gothic Times, which will be a lovely memento of the weekend.
