The 2025 Isle of Wight Steampunk Festival was a spectacular celebration of creativity, history, and imagination, drawing over 6,000 visitors into the heart of Victorian Ryde. For one extraordinary weekend, the town was transformed into a vibrant world of goggles, gears, corsets, and top hats, with streets alive with music, performance, and a true spirit of adventure. It was a magical gathering where seasoned steampunkers and curious newcomers alike came together to celebrate this unique blend of past and future.
