Join us this Bank Holiday Weekend for thefabulous Weekend at the Asylum Steampunk Festival in the heart of
Lincoln.
The County Assembly Rooms will be hosting two
formal Tea Parties on Friday 22 August.
Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
Join your hosts Fiona and Nimrod from the
Ministry of Steampunk for a Mad Hatters’ Tea Party on Friday afternoon from 1 –
2:30PM. There is no special dress code for the event, but if previous Mad
Hatters tea parties are anything to go by you can expect one or two Mad
Hatters, Alice, a Queen or two, the occasional rabbit and Cheshire cat. But
don’t be limited by Lewis Carroll’s imagination – any kind of steampunk outfit
is appropriate but just leave a little space for your waistline to expand
during the event.
Tea will include a selection of finger
sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, Victoria sponge, handmade
shortbread and a selection of sweet treats served with bottomless tea and
coffee.
Afternoon Tea with Steam Powered Giraffe
Our second Afternoon Tea on Friday afternoon
will be a very rare opportunity for fans to have afternoon tea with Steam
Powered Giraffe. This weekend will be SPG’s first visit to Europe since 2018
and they are very excited to meet their fans – but only a few will have the
opportunity to join them for this very exclusive feature.
Please note that SPG will not be in makeup or
costume for this event; it will be an opportunity for you to meet the people
behind the robot characters (but there is nothing to stop you coming as your
favourite robot if you so wish!)
During the event the members of SPG will
visit each of the tables in the Edwardian Suite to chat to fans.
The event will start at 3:30 and end at 5:00
PM.
During the event you will be able to enjoy a
selection of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, Victoria
sponge, handmade shortbread served and a selection of sweet treats with
bottomless tea and coffee.
