The Haworth Steampunk Weekend
About | Accommodation | Event Details | Photos | Links
Held in the village since November 2013 (usually as an annual charity event raising funds for Sue Ryder's "Manorlands" hospice in Oxenhope) the steampunk weekend is now a regular annual event for Haworth - attracting fans of the steampunk genre from far and wide!
The steampunk genre "reimagines" Victorian and Edwardian science fiction (as typified by the works of e.g. H.G. Wells and Jules Verne) in a "retro-futuristic" style, but for those who are still wondering what steampunk is (and there seems to be quite a lot of you out there) there's a more detailed description of steampunk on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk !
Events taking place over the course of the Haworth Steampunk Weekend usually include street entertainers, bands, and a very special "steampunk burlesque" show.
