AXV HOME
Weekend at the Asylum XV
Introduction - Where and When
Weekend at the Asylum XV [AXV] will take place in the Historic Quarter of Lincoln over the 2025 August Bank Holiday weekend.
​
The main daytime event will start on Friday morning 22 August, but for those who choose to arrive on the Thursday we will be holding the traditional 'Advanced Guard' evening event on Thursday 21 August. Daytime content will run through to Monday afternoon, 25 August but for those who don't want to go home on the Monday there will be the 'Dead Dog Party' on Monday evening.
​
The Ministry of Steampunk have been working on content for AXV since before Asylum XIV and have already made some very special announcements. ​All future announcements will be made on the MoS Facebook page (Welcome to the Asylum) as well as on this website. ​​
​
Further pages will be added to the Asylum menu above setting out our plans in more detail. Each will link back to this AXV Home page as well as to the main website Home page.​​
What's happening at AXV?
The full daytime timetable for AXV is now available to download. There are two documents, both in PDF format. One is a timetable-style planner and the other is a more detailed description of each of the features taking place over the four days.
​
The documents now available are the third (and I hope final) version of the FINAL programme, released on 18 August. The changes from the previous versions are few and are listed as a footnote to the first page of the programme document. I do not expect to make any further changes to the documents although we cannot exclude the possibility that some will be necessary, so please do check back to make sure you have the most recent version before you come along to enjoy a Weekend at the Asylum. If you can see colours and the outer box below remains teal then the 18 August version of the programme is still current. If it has changed colour then we have had to make some changes. ​​
