About the festival
Eastbourne Bonfire Society are extremely pleased to announce that our Steampunk Festival will return to the Wish Tower Slopes this September!
A unique event celebrating the wonderful (and often whacky) world of Steampunk, this event serves as an important fundraiser for our Bonfire Night celebrations in October
Visitors should expect Extravagant costumes, Steampunk and local bands, Steampunk games, a Steampunk parade and much more!
To celebrate 25 years of Eastbourne Bonfire Society, plans are afoot to not only celebrate our Steampunk event in style but to celebrate with other unique and diverse genres in 2026.
Interested in trading at the event?
We are now accepting traders pitch bookings for the event and our event planning team would love to hear from you. We are happy to welcome a variety of different traders, food vendors and activities, not just those with a Steampunk theme.
The event is non-ticketed and our traders benefit from a regular public footfall along Eastbourne Seafront. Traders able to commit to both days are preferable, however we are always open to making flexible arrangements!
