About

Ladies and gentlemen…
…we cordially invite you to the East Anglian Railway Museum for our Steampunk fair, which is hosted in conjunction with the League of Essexordinary Gentlemen.

Suitably attired in all your splendour, you may enjoy the delights of tea-duelling, free-style hula-hooping and… emerging from his dungeon especially for this day… the legendary Herr Doktor. Meet the stall holders and browse their wares and you can disappear into the world of Steampunk!

We will also be holding a special Steampunk Market, there will be a range of stalls in our new Exhibition Hall and outside on the events field. If you are a stall holder please see towards the bottom of this page about how you can get involved.

More details about the event will be posted here nearer the event, but you can be sure of a grand time at this spectacular and popular event – don't miss out!

This is a family friendly event with fun for all the family.

Treat your dad this Father's day and enjoy unlimited steam and diesel train rides, as well as unlimited rides on our Miniature railway, and access to the museum and it's exhibits.

Let your kids let off some steam on our train themed playground and also pretend to be a bus driver on our play and picnic bus.

During our Steampunk Shenanigans event, The Museum is open for you to look around the various buildings, trains, displays and exhibits – details of what you can see can be found on our Standard Museum Admission page, with the added attraction of one of our heritage trains running, hauled by one of our home fleet of steam locomotives.

We operate unlimited rides starting at 10:30 – 15:00, the Museum opens at 10:00 right through until 17:00.
