Hundreds of Steampunk fans have gathered in the quiet Yorkshire town of Haworth today for the annual gathering to celebrate the sub-culture.

Revellers spared no expense on dressing up for the occasion, as fans of the science fiction sub-genre were pictured wearing Victorian-style clothing with a steam-powered twist.

The culture is inspired by industrialised 19th century civilisation but comes with a metallic, retro technological addition to the clothing.

The event is now in its sixth year and has helped to raise money through a raffle to the Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice nearby.

The three-day event runs from Friday 23 November to Sunday 25 November.

The revellers had gone to a tremendous effort with their clothes, which were inspired by items in the 19th century
