RAVENSPURGH GOTH FESTIVAL 2: THE SECOND WAVE

Goth City Promotions are delighted to announce the latest goth festival on the Yorkshire coast - two nights of live music from the ancient east Yorkshire port of Ravenspurgh!

Ravenspurgh (also 'Ravenspurn') on the Humberside coast appears in William Shakespeare's plays Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, and Henry VI, Part 3, under the spelling "Ravenspurgh". Two medieval English kings landed at Ravenspurn: Henry IV in 1399, on his way to dethrone Richard II, and Edward IV in 1471, on his way back from exile in the Netherlands, where he was resisted by the local lord, Sir Martin de la See. (For more information see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenspurn ). So as you can see, it has impeccable gothic credentials!

The only problem is - due to coastal erosion, Ravenspurgh is currently situated at the bottom of the North Sea. So, for obvious logistical reasons, it will take place online with a live premiere on YouTube.

The event is free to watch, but a fundraiser during the event will be raising money for the RNLI.

Too many people are still drowning. More than ever we need the RNLI’s help. As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe.

RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland. The lifeguards keeping watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and Channel Islands. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.

Thank you.
