Ryde Seafront is once again the lively centre of the festival on Sunday, free and open to everyone, young and old, with live music, a bustling market of steampunk and non-steampunk stalls, and a tempting selection of food and drink vendors throughout the day.
The Isle of Wight Steampunk Festival information tent will also be on site, where visitors can find out more about the day’s events.
With steampunks in full costume gathering across the site, it’s a welcoming and vibrant space for all - whether you’re dressed for the occasion or simply there to enjoy the atmosphere.
Sunday also features the much-loved Steampaws Best Dressed Pooch competition, adding an extra dose of fun and flair to the day.

Meet Major Blunder brings the whimsical spirit of steampunk to life through catchy tunes and delightful lyrics that celebrate the eccentricities of the Steampunk culture.
With a top hat perched jauntily and a heart full of whimsy, Major Blunder strums his ukulele, whisking audiences away to a world where corsets meet clockwork, and boots click-clack with every step.
His songs are a playful homage to the steampunk revellers, capturing their unique style and spirited gatherings.
Imagine lyrics that laugh at the absurdity of life in a corset, where every breath is a challenge, yet every twirl is a dance of freedom.
Opera-trained vocals collide with progrock power as Jane returns to the festival to weave together a solo set of original music and iconic covers.
Bringing you her original music - a curious meld of steampunk storytelling, Tolkeinesque Wanderings and pagan ritual, she will also perform powerful renditions by bands and artists such as Nightwish (Phantom of The Opera), Kate Bush and more.
Expect to see her re-morphed Kate Bush tribute guise ‘In The Spirit of Kate Bush’ alongside fresh music releases from her songwriting collaboration with Jamie Wood ‘Beyond The Dawn’ including featured songs from their upcoming concept album based on the Druidic ‘Wheel of the Year.’
Curious? More info and links to Bandcamp on her website.
