Teapot racing is a steampunk favourite!
Take a free ride on one of the Isle of Wight Bus and Coach Museum's vintage buses from the bus stop outside Royal Esplanade Hotel, to watch this unique and entertaining steampunk festival spectacle.
Grown men and women unleash their inner child and race their amazing handcrafted remote control teapots around an exciting obstacle course. What could go wrong?
Teapot Racing is exactly as gloriously daft as it sounds. Ingenious inventors of all ages unleash their home-built, remote-controlled teapots onto a chaotic obstacle course, where style, speed, and sheer stubbornness collide. Expect wobbling contraptions, unexpected breakdowns, triumphant finishes - and plenty of laughter. A true steampunk classic.
Think you can do better? If you fancy taking part, there is normally a teapot available that you can drive!
