There are medals for winner and 2nd place (gold and silver).
Captain Cumberpatch's Curious Creations donates the medals for the prizewinners and ones also for the Coffee Jousting Beanmasters (the host).
.
There will be something happening upstairs in the board room.
(Yet tbc) Table top gaming and there's space for someone to set up with a photo booth / studio layout as well.
.
The gorgeous 1920's cinema on the 2nd floor (that's one down from the entrance level!) will be showing various steampunk films - titles and times to be confirmed. Each film is around 90 minutes long and will be shown at 11.30 and 2pm each day.
Information about the films and anything else can be found here:

.
There will be a selection of traders on two floors which will not be all the same people on both days. This will be the 3rd floor (where the entrance is) and the 2nd floor.
.
A tearoom will be there for the weekend selling lovely homemade cake and cuppas as well as a hot food vendor or two. All of these I will need to get traders booked in to do.
.
Don't forget you need to pay admission to the museum itself as you will be able to see all the exhibitions there as well. If you come along on the Saturday, retain your admission receipt as it will gain you free entry on the Sunday.
Customers will be paying normal admission to the Industrial Museum itself to be able to access the traders as you will be mixed in with the whole building, the displays and the layout.
.
Dogs of all shapes and sizes are welcome at this museum, both in the buildings and out in the grounds. Please do keep an eye on your pet at all times so that they do not "mark" anywhere, be it the walls of the building or a trader's tablecloth. Also ensure you have the necessary poop bags/tissues/wet wipes etc to clean up any "accidents".
.
Also please be aware there are no cash point machines on the site - the nearest one would be if you walked back up to Town Street or over the foot bridge to Cardigan Fields and there is one in the wall of Hollywood Bowl which charges you for the privilege.
.
You can get to Armley Mills by bus from the town centre and the bus drops you off opposite the carpark of Armley Mill on Canal Road.
