Visit the wonderfully whimsical world of Whitby Steampunk Weekend; it is a rather splendid affair indeed!
Whitby Steampunk Weekend is an event that brings thousands of fabulously attired attendees into Whitby two weekends a year. Whitby Steampunk Weekend began in 2017. It is a family-friendly event and offers completely free daytime entry for you to enjoy. It is a beautiful time to visit this seaside town, get involved and embrace steampunk.
What is Steampunk?
Steampunk is a science fiction genre that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired by the industrialised Western civilisation during the 19th century. It often incorporates elements of fantasy, horror, and alternate history, with many works exploring the social and technological consequences of the Industrial Revolution. The aesthetic of steampunk is characterised by anachronistic technology, such as clockwork mechanisms, gears, brass fittings, and Victorian fashion and design elements.
