Crich Tramway Village’s ever popular Steampunk weekend, in conjunction with Steampunks Always Welcome – Lincoln, is set to return for two amazing days on 6th and 7th September 2025!
Grab your goggles and dust off your cogs and gears as Victorian romanticism meets modern technology at this day out with a difference!
Step into a World of Alternative History
Enjoy a fun-filled family day out with splendid entertainment set against a Victorian backdrop. Blending quirky science fiction, fantastical technology, and the awe-inspiring steam-powered machinery of the 19th century, this unique event runs each day from 10am to 5pm.
Entertainment for all the family throughout both days
There’s fun for all the family at the Flea Circus, and Sam the Scam bunko booth featuring audience participation and fun with clever sleight of hand, magic and comedy.
And of course, Tea Duelling! In addition, enjoy music on the bandstand from Daisy Roots, Boothill Toe Tappers duo and Madam Misfit on both days.
Exhibitors will also be selling Steampunk merchandise and memorabilia in the Exhibition Hall. A great day for anyone interested in Steampunk, Victoriana, engineering and local history.
Step back in time with a ride on the gallopers – a must for anyone who loves fairground carousels.
As usual, visitors will also be able to enjoy unlimited rides on the vintage trams each day, taking you out into the Derbyshire countryside offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Derwent Valley.
