The Great Bridlington Steampunk Weekend 2023 in pictures: The Yorkshire coast festival returns with a royal theme in celebration of the coronation of King Charles III

From munching on Coronation Chicken to dressing up as King Charles III himself in celebration of the King’s Coronation, The Great Bridlington Steampunk Weekend kicked off in royal style.

The annual Bridlington Steampunk Weekend is aptly held at the Royal Hall Bridlington Spa this Coronation weekend.

While His Majesty The King was crowned at Westminster Abbey, people had marked the occasion in Bridlington watching on the big screen.

People went all out as usual when it came to dressing up as a historical figure, King, Queen, or leader in their field of expertise, science, industry, exploration and discovery - all ideas were welcome.
