The Steampunk Essex League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and a magician will be explaining the evolution of steampunk and providing details of how to get involved in their future activities.

An owl display and intriguing engines will add to the occasion.

On top of all this, the museum itself will be open, with the triple expansion pumping engine and others operating on steam.

The Astaria Model Village will be open to view and the Steam Pump Tea Room will be selling food and refreshments, in addition to other caterers on the field.

Full government Covid-safety guidelines will be in place.
