Steampunk Weekend at Wentworth Woodhouse
For the first time, Steampunk Weekend is coming to Wentworth Woodhouse on 27 - 28 September! Join them as they reimagine a Victorian past with a modern twist – and even a touch of science fiction.
For one weekend only, the house will be opening it's doors not only to the general public, but also welcoming the colourful Steampunks in all of their incredibly beautiful tailored finery too!
This family friendly event has some specially invited science fiction based exhibitions on Dr. Who and Steampunk gadgetry, live musical entertainment, over 50 stalls inside the House throughout the Staterooms and even Steampunk Morris dancing!
The sumptuous Wentworth Woodhouse Library with all its comfy and squishy leather chesterfields will host a series of readings from published Authors on Horror, Gothic, Science Fiction and Inspirational genres.
Come and be enchanted by this wonderfully inventive, creative and visually stunning community based on Victorian Science Fiction and a world reimagined with steam as the predominant source of power, all as part of your general admission fee to Wentworth Woodhouse House and Gardens.
