Leeds Steampunk Market Family Events

steampunk Victorian military gothic dark and spooky faery pagan Sci-Fi Harry Potter Alice in Wonderland geeky nerdy shopping

Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th March.
Doors open at 10am on Saturday, 11am Sunday all stalls open and trading up to 5pm.

Professor Elemental will now not be there on the Saturday after all - his gig has been rescheduled to Friday 30th March.

On both days there will be a flying display from one of Amy Jo Lawrance​'s owls from her Flying Squadron https://www.facebook.com/TheFlyingSquadron. 12pm Saturday, 2pm Sunday.

The Captain of the Lost Waves will be roaming around the museum entertaining from 12pm on the Sunday for around 45 minutes.

Recruiting for the Coffee Jousting (that's right, we do things different at LSM!) commences an hour before the tournament takes place - Saturday only at 4pm.

(Rules on coffee jousting are on a separate post/tab on this website).

Captain Cumberpatch's Curious Creations will be donating medals for the prizewinners (1st, 2nd and joint 3rd) and one also for the Coffee Jousting Beanmaster (the host).

We will have gaming on (actual names yet to be confirmed) and they will be upstairs in the boardroom just above the cafe.

The gorgeous 1920's cinema on the 2nd floor (that's one down from the entrance level!) will be showing various steampunk films - titles to be confirmed. Each film is around 90 minutes long and will be shown at 11.30 and 2pm each day.
Don't forget, if you attend on the Saturday, retain your ticket as it will gain you free admission on the Sunday - worthwhile as the traders won't be the same on both days as around 1/3 only do one day.

There will be 50 traders on two floors which will not be all the same people on both days.

There will be a tombola run to raise money for a named charity which all the traders will be donating to.

A vintage tearoom will be there for the weekend selling lovely homemade cake and cuppas as well as a few hot food vendors and drinks tents on the picnic area (as there's nowhere else close really for normal food nor a pub!)

Don't forget you need to pay admission to the museum itself as you will be able to see all the exhibitions there as well. If you come along on the Saturday, retain your admission receipt as it will gain you free entry on the Sunday.

Customers will be paying normal admission to the Industrial Museum itself to be able to access the traders as you will be mixed in with the whole building, the displays and the layout. These prices are correct at time of going to press (Jan 2018) but their admission prices now are:

Adult £4.00

Child £2.00 Children under 5 years are free.

Family (up to 2 adults + 3 kids) £9.00

Dogs of all shapes and sizes are welcome at this museum, both in the buildings and out in the grounds. Please do keep an eye on your pet at all times so that they do not "mark" anywhere, be it the walls of the building or a trader's tablecloth. Also ensure you have the necessary poop bags/tissues/wet wipes etc to clean up any "accidents".

Also please be aware there are no cash point machines on the site - the nearest one would be if you walked back up to Town Street or over the foot bridge to Cardigan Fields and there is one in the wall of Hollywood Bowl which charges you for the privilege.

You can get to Armley Mills by getting on a number 15 bus from the town centre. There is a bus stop just outside the main doors of the train station in Leeds centre and the number 15 bus drops you off opposite the carpark of Armley Mill on Canal Road.

Weapons policy can be seen and trader information can be found on the website.
