Isle of Wight Steampunk Festival

Get Ready for an Unforgettable Weekend: The Second Isle of Wight Steampunk Festival is Here!

The festival’s heart will beat in the gorgeous Western Gardens, where attendees can dive into a weekend packed with excitement for all ages. The lively atmosphere extends beyond the gardens, with additional activities at the Royal Victorian Arcade, FuBar, Vintage Bus Museum and The Star Coffee & Ale House.

Families will find a treasure trove of engaging experiences, from hands-on workshops for children and captivating storytellers to quirky vintage puppets that will spark the imaginations of young and old alike.

This year’s festival is not just about entertainment; it’s a wonderful opportunity to support local businesses. Delight in unique activities like teapot racing and tea duelling and children will also enjoy the mini fairground.

Festival-goers can also hop on the free vintage bus shuttle service for a charming taste of old-time travel.
