The movement also involves revellers clad in corsets, top hats, waistcoats and goggles.
The festivities will start at 10am on Saturday and Sunday at the Royal Oak in New Malden, with a mini market full of handmade steampunk items for sale.
Steampunk artists such as Kiss Like Esther, Dale Rowles and Moth will play throughout the day and evening.
Tickets cost £15 for a day pass or £20 for the weekend and are available from harpsfest.com.
