Tenby’s Community Engagement Officer, Anne Draper was “very pleased” with the response to the Steampunk weekend.
“Lots of people came down for the weekend, and lots of locals joined in so it was an excellent inclusive event.
“By the Sunday, people were asking the dates for next year so they could book their accommodation. The Steampunk Emporium stallholders were also keen to come back - one of whom had come down from Sheffield especially to support the event.
“I was told of a comment by one of the visiting Steampunkers that they had been to loads of Steampunk events and this was the best yet. “It will therefore definitely become a regular event and will be the last weekend of March next year.”
There was a great turnout for the ‘Peacock Parade’ and people put much effort into their bespoke outfits, inventions and gadgets. (Pic. Elizabeth Fitzpatrick) (Elizabeth Fitzpatrick)
Intriguing exhibits included this animated Steampunk take on the robotic droid R2-D2 from the Star Wars film series, and a huge mechanical spider. (Parade pic. Elizabeth Fitzpatrick) (Pic. Elizabeth Fitzpatrick / Pic supplied)
