Organiser Andy Dolan thanked all of the entertainers, traders and attendees who came to the event and said he was astonished by the turnout, particularly in spite of the “biblical” weather on Sunday, and added: “I was blown away (literally) by their beautiful attire.”
A well established event in the Steampunk, and Whitby event calendar, Whitby Steampunk Weekend has enjoyed one of its best-attended events.
Now in its eighth year, this bi-annual event returns February 9 to 11, 2024.
