5th & 6th march 2016
Leeds Steampunk Market on tour at Bradford Industrial Museum
You will no doubt be aware of the tremendous amount of flooding that hit the north of England in December and this has had an impact on what we do. In addition to our own home getting damaged with the ever expanding water feature that appeared in our front and back gardens, both Thwaite and Armley Mills were flooded as well.
Armley was hit the hardest with parts of the lowest floors being under eight feet of water. When we had a conversation with them at the beginning of January, they were confident they would be re-opened in time for our event. Although the waters have now receded, they are still currently without power as the substation was submerged and still trying to dry out. Work is still ongoing in all respects to get them back up and running but they have admitted they cannot give us a cast iron guarantee that the March event (which at the time of the conversation was over a month away) was able to go ahead. At this time they have now got power back on although not all areas are accessible.
Cancelling an event was not even considered. We have worked tirelessly since this news came to us just a couple of days ago and are now very excited to bring you some brand new venues for 2016.
