THE MINISTRY OF STEAMPUNK
ASYLUM MERCHANDISE
Weekend at the Asylum 16
Introduction
Each year at Weekend at the Asylum the Ministry of Steampunk produce a small number of items of limited edition official merchandise.
You can see examples of many of the previously produced items on the MoS Medals and Pins page here.
You will find details of the official medal and pins for Asylum 16 below.
Official Asylum 16 Medal
This year's official Asylum medal reflects our "Year of the Dragon" theme and includes a red steampunk dragon against an antique brass coloured background. The pentagon around the edge has 16 sides.
The medal will be 30mm diameter which is the same as previous Asylum medals. The images here are the original artwork, the manufacturer's proof and the final product (which is more 'antique brass' in real life).

MoS Time Travel Association Pin
The highest profile gig at Asylum has been called "Time Travellers" for many years and Time Travel has long been a popular idea (indeed passtime) in Steampunk.
For Asylum 16 we have produced our first "MoS Time Travel Association" pin which bears the letters TTA against a background of cogs, mathematical and elemental symbols.
The height of the pin will be 1.5 inches with two rubber clutches on the back so it doesn't spin during time travel.
The images here are the manufacturer's proof together with the final product which is now in hand.

Asylum 16 T-Shirt
This year's limited edition Asylum 16 T-shirt features a white dragon on a black T-shirt.
Our first batch of Dragon T-shirts are now in stock and available for pre-order, to be sent out to UK addresses by Royal Mail 48 hour tracked service in the first half of August. Depending upon interest, we may order a second batch, some of which might be available to be ordered in advance and to be collected at Asylum. We may even have some for sale at the event, but that is not guaranteed.
If you are travelling to the Asylum from outside of the UK you may order one of the existing t-shirts and we will retain it for you to collect at the event. We are not taking UK orders for collection at this time.
How do I buy/order merch?
You can pre-order the official Asylum 16 Medal, 2026 MoS Charity pin and MoS TTA pin in advance through the Ministry of Steampunk ticketing site. You will receive a QR code which you can use to collect your merch at Event Control (or at The Advanced Guard evening event on Thursday if you are attending).
