The Special Flyer Event
Steampunking Felixstowe
This October , the seaside town of Felixstowe in Suffolk will be gearing itself up ready to host a new major event . The Felixstowe Steampunk
Halloween Festival will be held at Landguard Fort and Felixstowe Museum on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 October .
Imagine a world where the Victorians were far more technologically advanced than they were in reality … from steam driven airships to mechanical time machines . The Victorians loved their seaside holidays too , so Felixstowe is the perfect place for a Steampunk extravaganza ! This new family friendly festival is packed with Steampunk curiosities and eccentricities with a spooky
Halloween twist or two . Great music and entertainment , Steampunk performers , magic shows , Meccano and wacky Steampunk games , including tea dueling and ‘ High Noon ’ shootouts with Nerf guns . There will also be a Steampunk Marketplace with traders from across the UK . Visitors are encouraged to attend in their Steampunk finery … its up to you as anything goes as long as it ’ s a little steampunked !
For braver souls , there is also a special evening event at Landguard Fort on Saturday 27 October , the ‘ Night of the Macabre ’ featuring a weird and wonderful cabaret show of live Steampunk acts , alongside scarers , special effects and plenty of shocks and surprises .
Tickets for the Festival went on sale on Wednesday 1 August . Stephen Rampley , Landguard Marketing and Events Co-ordinator , said “ We are very excited to bring this big new event to
Felixstowe and Landguard . It promises to be a real spectacle and something the town has never seen before . So , start digging out those top hats , flying goggles and corsets for a weekend to remember ”.
