Filey Steampunk OR Bridlington Kite Festival

Join us as we visit either Filey for the Steampunk Weekend OR Bridlington for the Kite Festival - the choice is yours!

 

One of the features of Filey Steampunk Weekend is the meticulously crafted costumes. Attendees often don elaborate Victorian-inspired outfits with a fantastical twist, showcasing their creativity and embracing the Steampunk aesthetic. Throughout the event live music and entertainment will be on show, in which you can dance along or simply enjoy the eclectic melodies that add a dynamic element to the festivities. It doesn’t stop there either! There will be plenty of insightful workshops and talks. Learn about the history, aesthetics, and craftsmanship behind Steampunk creations, and perhaps discover your own creative inclinations.

 

Imagine the North Sea breeze, the sound of crashing waves, and a sky crowded with color. That is the Bridlington Kite Festival—one of the UK's most spectacular free events, held annually on the dramatic cliffs of Sewerby Fields. This festival isn't just about a few diamond kites, there will be giant bears, slithering snakes and octopus all operated by professional kite operators. Alongside the professional demonstrations, the popular parachuting teddy bear drops will be back.
