Tickets for the evening concerts are available here.
We are also very pleased indeed to be able to tell you that The Time Travelling Tea Tent will once again materialise out of whatever place and dimension and century they were in in order to be with us in Crewe at the Crewe Steampunk Convivial. If you need to know anything about the noble art of drinking tea, these people are the experts. They know nearly as much about drinking tea as they do about drinking gin!
The Steampunk Market is filling up with lots of interesting stalls, including many new faces as well as traders returning to Crewe from last May and November. You can find an amazing array of costume and clothing, vintage and retro, accessories, hats plain and hats decorated, jewellery, pocket watches, walking canes, parasols, lighting and decorative items for your home, hand-crafted leather satchels, handbags, purses with wonderful and original decoration, goggles and glasses, cravats and corsets. You can have your portrait taken against a green screen and then choose from a myriad of amazing backgrounds, and you can get a master-class in painting a plastic toy to transform it into a thing of wonder. The Steampunk Market is at the Lifestyle Centre and is open from 10am each day.
