OK so you're asking what on earth is Steam Punk and until this weekend we had no idea either so don't feel left out - just think how the Victorians would have imagined Sci-Fi (Jules Verne and H G Wells). As it happens Lincoln is the home to one of the largest Steam Punk festivals in the country. We had ring side seats when we went to the castle for our volunteer duties on Sunday morning. Or at least we would have ring side seats had we not been helping to prepare for the costume re-enactments in the Victorian prison.
