On the Bank Holiday weekend, 25 & 26th May, 2024, the Gloucester Tall Ships festival, we are going to hold our own Steampunk Pirate Festival across the city over four or more locations. We'll have the usual mix of music, mayhem, mirth and markets, and bring some well need Steampunk shenanigans to the whole weekend. We are not part of the the Tall Ships Festival but I guess a lot of our attendees will want to visit the ships and get photos taken with Jack Sparrow and bring our own unique style of craziness to the whole weekend.
