Weekend at the Asylum

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT October 29th

We have been inundated with requests for more steampunk gatherings. Of course we are working hard to finalise plans for our big event in September but at meetings in Lincoln yesterday we realised we had the opportunity to stage a second Asylum event at Easter.  Initial polls have shown this to be a very popular suggestion.  See the Easter 2010 page (left) for details.

Website Updated October 27th 2009   

Next year's event is very rapidly taking shape.  We are looking forward to announcing our bands lineup, guest artists and authors and our other plans on November 3rd.  Tickets should go on sale in mid November so you will have a couple of weeks to talk to your friends etc before booking. We have added a new page with an outline of our plans for 2010.

The Steampunk Quarter is growing and we are proud to announce the support of Lincoln Castle for the event.  In 2010 we are expanding the event to a total of 1000 participants and will be showcasing 12 bands plus lots of other acts over three stages.

Weekend at the Asylum is organised as by the Victorian Steampunk Society and is a convention open to members who pay an attendance fee. It is not a public open event as such since it is run for steampunk enthusiasts by steampunk enthusiasts.

Thanks to The Chap Magazine for supporting the event and generous Sponsorhip of the Goody Bags.  See the picture feature in the current issue.
