Grantham Steampunk Society holds second Christmas market

Crowds turned out for a Victorian-style Christmas market at the weekend.

The second Grantham Steampunk Society Christmas market took place on Saturday (December 14) in Market Place.

There was a variety of market stalls, as well as entertainment from the Steampunk Sallys and other acts.

Co-organiser Sharon Walker said: “It was brilliant, we had no hiccups whatsoever.

“We had a lot of steampunks come into town. The entertainment was really good and everyone was very happy.

“The market stalls and traders did really well as well. We were helped out by Councillor Tim Harrison (Ind) and Craig, the market manager.

“We are trying to bring steampunk into Grantham and put steampunk on the map.”

As well as singers and market stalls, the Victorian-inspired event also included a lantern procession and umbrella dancing.

Sharon runs the steampunk society alongside her husband David Walker, as well as Gill Becken and Kevin Becken.

The society has more events planned for 2025, including Fox Fest in July.
