NEWS: Visit the Asylum (Steampunk Convivial)


Weekend at the Asylum is the first UK Steampunk "Convivial" or Festival. It is a gathering of Steampunk enthusiasts and Neo-Victorians and a celebration of a retro-futuristic world.

Weekend at the Asylum will be held over the weekend of 11th-13th September 2009 in the City of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. We are aiming to take over much of the Old Quarter of the city but the main venue on Saturday is the Asylum from which the event takes its name.


Weekend at the Asylum consists of Live Music, Comedy, Dance and Speciality Acts, Exhibitions, Seminars, Panels, a market in the form of our Bazaar Eclectica, Competitions, Workshops and lots of socialising. If you are a steampunk, neo-victorian or even a re-enactor we will strive to make you welcome at what is set to be one of the most exciting weekends of the year.

The event is proving to be very popular with one third of the tickets already booked within the first two weeks of being on sale. We hope to welcome as many steampunks to Lincoln as we can and have a really enjoyable weekend.
