Have you ever wondered what happens when the MoS and friends exhibit at comicons? We put on Steampunk displays at MCM and Megacon to introduce Steampunk to the cosplay audiences.
Our next event will be Megacon Birmingham at the NEC on 25-26 March. Come and say hello if you are there!
You will find links to some of our recent displays and the characters we met under the 'Gallery' heading above - or you can go straight to the most recent event in Dublin here
Did you come to the first Hulloween Steampunk Festival in Hull? Are you interested to see what happened? If so, check out our images on the MoS gallery. Many more are to be found on the Facebook pages of the Hull steampunk groups.
We will be back in Hull for "Hulloween II" over the weekend of 21-22 October 2023 - more news to follow in due course.
The Ministry of Steampunk is a voluntary organisation who host Steampunk and alternative history events, including creating and hosting the Asylum Steampunk Festival in Lincoln since 2009.

We are a somewhat amorphous organisation with various offices and bureaux that cover some of the myriad aspects of Steampunk and the wider anachronistic creative scene.

We make no attempt to define Steampunk but instead strive to create opportunities where Steampunks can gather together and share their imaginations, creativity and friendship.
