🗓️ Saturday 6th September 2025
Swanage Railway is holding its first ever Steampunk Day this September.
Come and have your photo taken with the Canford Heath and Poole Steampunks (CHAPS) – dressing up encouraged! and take part in a range of unique activities including:
- Tea duelling (competitive biscuit-dunking)
- Victorian crafts
- Dress-up photo booth
There’ll also be trade stands to peruse and, while you’re here, why not hop on a train to visit the Classic Steam and Vehicle Show, which is happening this weekend at Norden.
- Timings: 9.30am – 5pm
- Venue: Swanage Station
The event is free; tickets for onward travel on the railway can be booked on the Swanage Railway website.
CHAPS is a group of steampunk enthusiasts who meet once a month – follow what they’re up to on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/214830435928253
