About

In parts of Europe on the 5th of December, the Eve of the Feast of 

St. Nicholas the Saint visits homes to give gifts to good children.

He is accompanied by his dark counterpart The Krampus, who teases

and punishes naughty boys and girls. 

Krampus festivals or runs are popular throughout Europe and now in America but had never been held in the UK, until 2015 with the very first Whitby Krampus Run, which was very well received even by naughty children and again in

2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 with considerable media attention.

​

Unfortunately WKRVI 2020 will be different due to Covid19 but despite these difficulties WKRVII is now in the planning for 2021

​

So be prepared, for Krampus is coming.

Here is a link to a  good introduction.
