Welcome to the principality of Steampunk the Thames!

Located in the town of Thames, New Zealand, we offer a place for all people to create, share and most importantly have fun with Steampunk.

Every year in November, Thames is taken over by Steampunkers from around New Zealand and the world as we hold the Steampunk Festival of the arcane and thaumaturgic arts.

We crank up a head of steam with an action packed, fun filled weekend of high energy hoopla for grownups and young people alike.

Feel free to wander through our site – check out the galleries with our previous festival events – learn more about Steampunk as well as the great local businesses that sponsor us!
