Goths for Breakfast: Charity Teach-a-thon
A full day of back to back classes and workshops on Gothic themes to raise money for the charity Magic Breakfast
Romancing the Gothic is running an online charity event to support Magic Breakfast, which provides school breakfasts for children who need them.
The event is a day of online classes and workshops with academics, experts and writers. You can come in and out as often or as infrequently as you like through the day.
You can choose your ticket price at £5, £10, £20 or £50 for the day. We want to make sure everyone can come so support at the level you can :) At Magic Breakfast £5 buys approx. a month of breakfasts and support for one child. As of 2025, £14 could give 50 children breakfast for a day. £42 could get a whole class breakfast for a week!
