Whitby Steampunk Weekend celebrates all that the Yorkshire coast town has to offer that has inspired writers and artists alike.

The Whitby event attracts thousands of elaborately dressed visitors every year and events are held indoors within the beautiful Whitby Pavilion.

Whitby Steampunk Weekend was first established in 2017 and is now considered one of the largest steampunk gatherings in the country.

Yorkshire Post photographer Tony Johnson attended the event and took lots of photos.
