Not been to both but: as a social dancer it would be Whitby, as a Folkie it would be Whitby, if I had kids it would be Whitby, if I hated crowds (tick the yes box) it would be Whitby, if I liked quaint old Towns (yes yes) it would be Whitby, aaaaand.............................
I ain't rich so it would be Whitby.*

I steward at Warwick and rarely hear any negative murmurings about the shindig.

* other reason are available but it would still be Whitby.
