catfan 14,793 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well today saw the arrival of the annual Lincoln Steampunk festival. we had planned to go tomorrow but decided last night to go today instead, the weather looked good today & blimey, it was beautiful ! Arrived just after 9am had breakfast in Wetherspoon's & then went & joined the zany, weird & oddball steampunk crowd around the Bailgate area ! This year was the best yet, 50k visitors expected this weekend for the Steampunk festival, continues until Monday night. Went for a pint at lunchtime & found a pub flogging draught Hobgoblin ! Smashing. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 #26 Great photos Catfan. I guess they will all be a bit "steamed up" when they have climbed Steep Hill in the costumes! The event looks like lots of fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Brilliant pics Catfan. It looks as though folk made a real effort. I was in that area near the castle last Sunday celebrating my birthday as my daughter only lives a few hundred yards from the castle. Do you know the main thing I like about your pics? You and Sue ALWAYS look so happy together. That means a lot. Fantastic ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
