Steampunk Weekend
Following the success of our first Steampunk Weekend, it's coming back in November 2026!
Come along and experience a re-imagining of the past, where steam power is the primary energy source, and fantastical inventions await!
We're currently working on the programme but you can expect plenty of activities, traders, photo opportunities, games, competitions, live music and more.
Tickets are available to book now and, as last year, are completely free of charge.
Details on what you can experience at Steampunk 2026 will be released in due course. Stay tuned!
This event includes site admission. You do not need to add a seperate site admission ticket.
We recommend adding tickets to both Experiment! and Wagon Woods during checkout. As it's an event day, both are expected to be busy. Booking in advance guaratnees you entry and avoids dissapointment on the day.
