Lincoln, Lincolnshire, UK. 26th August 2017. Pictured: A couple pose for the camera whilst holding their Steampunk weaponry. / Thousands of people gather at what is claimed to be the "largest steampunk event in the solar system". The Asylum festival brings steampunkers from across the UK to Lincoln Castle and other historic parts of the city. Steampunk has been described as "nostalgia for what never was" and draws on a wide variety of influences from HG Wells to comics. About 35,000 to 40,000 people are expected to attend the event each day over the bank holiday weekend.
