The Dracula Experience is a unique tour through the Dracula Story and its connection to Whitby. As you enter a dreadful fear will come upon you. The Count’s mysterious appearance and frightening warning will make you wonder if you should have come to Whitby… 

Bram Stoker wrote the story of Dracula in Whitby. Inspired by the town’s atmosphere and ghostly superstitions. 

The tour includes a recent addition, our new cinema shows a movie created in-house which tells the story of the real Dracula (Vlad Tepes) in Transylvania, and how this the story inspired the writing of the book Dracula by Bram Stoker.

The book was written in Whitby and many scenes from the story take place in Whitby.

Indeed some of Bram Stokers research for the book took place in this very building when it was The Captain’s Reading Rooms.
