Coming Up Soon – Steampunk @ Altitude: A Festival at Nimmitabel

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all in different ways – but the biggest blow here at Skav’s was the postponement of all our events. We had high hopes for Ironfest 2021 but unfortunately it has also been delayed. Finally, after over 12 months the fast has broken – Steampunk @ Altitude, a steampunk festival in the quaint town of Nimmitabel is going ahead on the 1st-2nd May 2021… and we’re going!

Steampunk @ Altitude was started a few years ago now, with steampunk themed stalls and attractions coming from all over to the little town to turn it into one big festival. Attractions are spread all over Nimmitabel to include local stores in the event. The town is picturesque with its vintage buildings, making it a wonderful site for steampunk photography!

Skav’s Steampunk Workshop is looking forward to attending Steampunk @ Altitude again, and rolling out our new stall set up to show off all the products we have been busy making over the last 12 months. Having a chance to dress up, meet new people and catch up with old friends is delightful after a long period of isolation and distance.

Of course Skav’s has a COVID-safe plan in place for the event, encouraging social distancing and appropriate hand hygiene. Anybody feeling sick should not attend the festival!

Anyone wanting to put in an order on our online store should do so before Thursday 29th April as we will be closing the store from Friday 30th April until Friday 7th May. If you are coming to Steampunk @ Altitude and want to pick up your order at the event please select “Local Pickup” at checkout and we will contact you to confirm pickup in Nimmitabel on the day.

For more questions about Steampunk @ Altitude, see their website or facebook page for more information.

See you there!
