Selection of articles about Steampunk events I attended with portraits from these events.
In October I decided to visit the Haworth Steampunk weekend again, probably one of the better Steampunk weekends on the UK calendar. It takes place twice a year and Haworth is a great place to host it as the town has the old fashioned look and feeling and there are lots of interesting shops and…
One of the best Steampunk related events in the UK is The Lincoln Steampunk Festival. In 2024 I visited for just a few hours on the Sunday. For 2025 I was determined to spend some quality time at this amazing event so I visited from the Friday until the Sunday. Like the previous year I…

I certainly had high hopes for the weekend! The Biggest…
