During the three-day Steampunk weekend held in Morecambe – which organisers said 8000 people attended – more than 200 ladies with extravagant Victorian-style costumes walked arm in arm with men dressed in military-style waistcoats and suits in a masse promenade filmed by the BBC for their programme ‘Inside Out,’

Visitors came from throughout Britain, Europe and even Australia to the festival and enjoyed an artisan market, entertainment and a masked ball.
