Pete in Lincs Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Not everyone's cup of tea, but... At the end of August for the bank holiday weekend there will be a three day steampunk festival in Lincoln in the uphill cathedral area. Have a look at visitlincoln.com for details. Hopefully I'll be going into town to have a look. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Batt Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 When might we see a 'real' effort to produce a 'proper' H G Wells' War of the Worlds? Dollop of steampunk, try and look at it from the invaders' perspective, and if they started working on antibiotics it could even turn into a TV mini-series.

Dave Batt Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) You mean like this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZGuVaHgNZ4 Certainly heading that way in my thoughts, but in my fantasy world of entertainment (not sure I have the words in the right order there) I'd be looking for the GoT, or Robert Downey Jnr/Jude Law Sherlock Holmes approach.

Pete in Lincs Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 We went out for drinkies in Lincoln last night (Wig & Mitre) And there were some people in costume down there then. Nipped down mid morning today for a proper look and it was quite impressive. Huge commitment to detail by these people in costume and equipment, accessories etc. And a number of European accents were evident too. Nice little market selling costumes etc and a lot of the local shops around the Cathedral had entered the spirit of the thing with their window displays.
