What is Steampunk? Well, it’s all about looking splendid in Victorian clothing, mixed up with inventors (think Jules Verne), explorers, military and goth. It’s British eccentricity on a large scale. The Lincoln Asylum Weekend is the largest Steampunk gathering in Britain and possibly the world. It takes place during the August bank holiday weekend and has now been running for 11 years. This year would be our second attendance.
