    Friday Night Launch Event

    Welcome to the **Steampunk Weekend - Friday Night Launch event**! Join us on Fri Dec 06 2024 at 8:00 PM at Pilgrim House Weymouth for a night of **steampunk** fun and excitement with Captain of the Lost Waves. On his National Tour, Weymouth is the only place to see this act in the SouthWest.

    The Captain makes his return nearly 22 months after a life changing road traffic accident where both he and his family were caught up in a police car chase resulting in being hit by the stolen vehicle. During the challenges of such a stark rehabilitation, music was miraculously still being created, albeit in a very slow, laboured and somewhat sedate ‘late night fashion’. Where strongpainkillers/opioids became ‘married’ to those rare and fleeting moments of energetic impulses that screamed out to be expressed – hence a reflective, healing, contemplative album emerged.

    Don't miss out on this unforgettable evening!

    Ghosts of Christmas Past - TOUR

    Friday night 7:30pm. Meet outside The Nothe Tavern
    Following the SELL-OUT tour last year the Ghost tour returns for the Christmas Steampunk weekend.

    Whilst Christmas is associated with 'A Christmas Carol' and Bob Marley's ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, why not take this opportunity to step into this one-off Ghostly Christmas experience set in old Victorian England on this walking tour of the Old Harbour and passageways of Weymouth! From Saxon massacres, the Black Death, murders, mysteries, and haunted happenings, to a forgotten graveyard, strange spectral sightings, and secretive paths; this fascinating tour takes you into the lesser-known history of the area. Steampunk attire encouraged
