The festival is a combination of exhibitions, trade stalls, authors and artists, workshops, presentations and of course lots and lots of live original music. The main attraction however is the participants themselves. Up to 1000 well dressed and well mannered steampunks enjoying the delightful "Steampunk Quarter" of Lincoln.
Unlike many conventions and festivals The Asylum is what might be termed a "campus" event. They use several venues but all within a stones throw of each other in the historic quarter of Lincoln. This year's venues are Lincoln Castle, The Lawns, Charlotte House and The Victoria Inn.
The Asylum is organised and run by the Victorian Steampunk Society which is a not-for-profit organisation which exists to promote the Steampunk Community in the UK. People attending are granted associate membership of the VSS so the event is in effect a series of private functions but the colourful nature of Steampunk means we also make quite an impression on the City.
