Isle of Wight Steampunk Festival 2026

Three days that turn Victorian Ryde into a steampunk town — a free daytime programme on the seafront with live music and a market of steampunk and artisan stalls, plus ticketed evening shows, tea duelling, teapot racing and a Steampunk Futures exhibition at the Royal Esplanade Hotel. The festival drew over 6,000 visitors in 2025.
