What is more fitting than a Grade II Victorian building for our Steampunk Festival?
The Royal Esplanade Hotel is our venue for both Friday and Saturday evening's entertainment, a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian building whose elegant period décor provides the perfect backdrop for a steampunk gathering. With around 70 rooms available, some guests can make a weekend of it and stay on site—simply drifting off to bed after the festivities—while still being just a short walk from the heart of Ryde.
