Whitby chocolate festival unites community to fund life-saving defibrillators

Nestled along the rugged North Yorkshire coast, Whitby is a town steeped in history, folklore, and charm. From its iconic abbey ruins to its cobbled streets and bustling harbour, Whitby has long been a magnet for visitors seeking a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Now, the town is adding a new layer to its rich tapestry: a chocolate festival set to debut this December. But this isn’t just any festival; it’s one with a heartwarming mission: to raise funds for the maintenance of life-saving defibrillators across the town.

A town with a taste for history

Whitby’s connection to chocolate might not be as well-known as its ties to Dracula or Captain Cook, but it’s a story worth telling. Chocolate has been a beloved indulgence in Britain since the 17th century, and Whitby, with its bustling port, would have been no stranger to the exotic imports of cocoa beans. Fast forward to today, and the town is home to a thriving community of artisans, bakers, and chocolatiers who continue to craft delicious treats inspired by Whitby’s unique character.

Every misstep, every contradiction, every guilty pleasure becomes proof that they’re “not feminist enough.” Like Beyoncé can’t call herself a feminist and still love a killer red lip? Like you can’t demand equal pay and secretly binge-watch reality TV? The expectation that women must embody a perfect, textbook feminism is not only exhausting, it’s also a trap.
