We look forward to welcoming you for a weekend of history, community, and discovery!

On Saturday we welcome the Skegness and East Coast Steampunk group who'll be performing 'Cane Duelling' and the 'Order of the Parasols' a dazzling display of colour and creation. Sunday promises a delightfully whimsical afternoon of music and merriment as we welcome The Full Fathom Five Tea Shanty Band at 12.30pm— a lively six-to-eight-piece a cappella ensemble (despite the name!) bringing a unique twist to traditional shanties, folk songs, and broadsides with their brilliantly reimagined, steampunk-inspired lyrics. Then, at 1:30pm, step into a world of vintage charm with Nowhere Fast — a dazzling 1920s–30s style, rinky-dink, steam-powered jazz duo. Armed with ukulele, the mysterious kazumpet (best experienced rather than explained!), and a generous helping of Bonzo-inspired mischief, their performance is guaranteed to raise a smile. Fo-do-de-oh-doh!
