In the middle of October I attended yet another Steampunk event, namely the Haworth Steampunk Weekend. I’ve visited Haworth a couple of times before for 1940’s weekends and the cobbled streets and old buildings of the main street is perfect for a historic themed weekend. I certainly had high hopes for the weekend! The Biggest…

At the end of September I attended the Welshpool 1940s Weekend. I’ve visited a few 1940s weekends over the years but this was going to be my first time at the Welshpool event. I decided to only go on the Saturday, visiting for a few hours. Welshpool 1940s Weekend – My Impression With no real…

I’ve attended this event a number of times before. Some know it as the Sheringham 1940’s Weekend and others as the North Norfolk Railway 1940’s Weekend. This used to be one of the best 1940’s weekends in my opinion but the one time I had attended post Covid in 2021 it seemed to be less…

Most of the 1940’s themed weekends I have attended seem to be located where there is a steam railway. The Victory Show is somewhat different in a number of ways. It seems to specialise…

The more you speak to those in the Steampunk community and ask them about their favourite events, the Lincoln Steampunk Fesival comes up time and again. It’s an event I would have attended before now but it happens over the August bank holiday and I seem to always be busy. Since I had decided at…

At the end of July I decided to visit Whitby again, this time for the Steampunk Weekend. I often decide to visit such weekends one or two weekends before by which time accommodation in Whitby is very expensive. As such I ended up staying in Scarborough which has better prices and is only 30 minutes…

The more Steampunk events I attend the more I get to recognise certain faces and begin conversations with people. When chatting to them I often ask them what their favourites Steampunk events are and many seem to include the Papplewick Pumping Station Steampunk Weekend in their answer. As such I decided to include it on…
