We arrived early, and had finished before most of the other stallholders arrived and in true VE team style, we were all sitting eating our pre-ordered full English breakfast whilst everyone else was frantically setting up their stalls! We like our food.
Without blowing our own trumpet (much), our stall looked brilliant. The display looked fantastic and interesting and was full to the brim with genuine old stuff. We like making stuff and it seemed that the eager steampunkers did too! All sorts of boxes full of cogs, keys, metal bits, gauges, clock parts and medical equipment were flying off the table as people had all sorts of exciting ideas on what to do with them all!
The costumes were amazing and the characters that we met were brilliant and it was really great fun! We particularly liked the guy selling 'Gentlemans Stiffner' and the 'Tea Duelling'.
We also took two boxes of magazines that were greedily snapped up by the assembled crowd of steampunkers.
Our "mad professor" desk drew quite a crowd.
The VE Team - and random man with beard ( in the middle...)
Old film reels, boxes of keys, medical equipment, old rulers, all sorts of interesting stuff!
There were some great outfits and the atmosphere was really great.
We would definitely do it again!
