Crank the dynamos and prime the pressure valves – it’s time for the Great Chrono‑Quiz Challenge! Outspeed the countdown and outwit your rivals in a contest of cunning and cleverness. Who shall emerge victorious this year, crowned champions of our ever‑celebrated, steam‑powered battle of wits?

7 pm till late at the Thames Bowling Club

It’s the time of the gathering. Steampunkers of ages past, the rebels of the present and the gear spinners of the future. Let’s march to our own tune, the only way we know how, bold, proud and splendid, huzzah!

11 am Pollen Street

Join us on the catwalk as the cogs whirl and the chronometers chime, clad in your finest steampunk splendour. Expect dapper chappies with polished brass and velvet flair, ladies adorned in magnificent ensembles fit for any era, and our curious little cog‑letts whirring along in joyful participation.

Come along to support, admire, and let your imagination be wound up with inspiration—who knows what ideas you might pocket from this most marvellous moment in time?

2 pm – 4 pm at the Thames Civic Centre

As the great steam‑organ hums to life, the evening will unfurl into music, dancing, and unrestrained merriment. Later, a brief interlude for dessert will grant all attendees a moment to recalibrate their internal cogs before we whirl once more into waltzes, gallops, and polkas, carrying us gracefully—and perhaps a bit breathlessly—into the night’s enchanting hours.

7 pm – late at the Thames Civic Centre

Whether you ride in from the cyberpunk sprawl, the industrial underbelly or post-apocalyptic frontier, the Pumphouse is calling. Step inside this cog-driven haven, strap on your goggles, tighten your corsets and join a punked-out party, where you can dance the night away beneath the turning gears of time itself”

7 pm – late at the Bella Street Pumphouse

As the weekend’s final sands slip through the hourglass, the revelry gently unwinds. Once more we gather in Victoria Park for our famed Unwound & Unplugged event.

The market stalls, freshly replenished with the latest mechanical fripperies and fashionable curios, promise treasures aplenty for the discerning eye and the thrifty purse.

Our beloved Punk My Pet returns as well, inviting real creatures great and small to strut their stuff upon the catwalk — or dogwalk — in a parade of whiskered wonder.

Debuting this year is our Clockwork Mascot Exhibition. Bring a visual ambassador of your own design — a crafted companion that embodies the spirit, style, or ethos of your Steampunk persona or collective.

Of course, no afternoon would be complete without the ever‑thrilling Fabulous Teapot Racing. Give It A Go Circus will be on hand to teach aspiring performers the finer points of showmanship, while the Hobby Horse Courses await those with a competitive spark and a fondness for fun-filled antics.
