When speaking to people at various Steampunk events, one event that was recommended a number of times was the Portmeirion Steampunk Weekend which I finally got to attend in 2025. This was also the first time that I attended a Steampunk event dressed in Steampunk attire, albeit quite a basic costume compared to many who…
I had not planned to visit the Tenby Steampunk Festival in 2025. I’d attended the inaugural event in 2024 and didn’t feel it was as well attended as other Steampunk events. However I received an enquiry regarding a job that would see me having to visit Cardiff on the Sunday. Since I would be in…
I’ve been focusing on my new pet business in recent months which means I’m behind with blog posts for this photgraphy website.

Another new Steampunk Weekend for me in 2024 was the Crich Tramway Steampunk Weekend. Many seemed to recommend it so I thought it was worth investigating.
