| Remarks |
The Endless Night Vampire Ball events are unique soirees where elegance meets rock and roll! The Endless Night Vampire Ball events are formal masquerade balls and 99% of the event’s quality, character and spirit are within the costume centered dress code. What is most important is the dress code is about respect, contribution to the environment and a mental preparation for the ball to build collective excitement. To come out of dress code without even making an effort is disrespectful and rude to those who made an effort. We are an inclusive experience which everyone should be the star and are not a “spectator’s sport” to enter you must participate, to participate begins with costumes!

| Remarks |
Weekend at the Asylum is Europe’s biggest steampunk event which encompasses the historic quarter of the City of Lincoln. Even so we still find there are more steampunks who want to attend than we can include in a single venue. Thus it had developed into a fringe style festival with a choice of events for you to select from creating a truly individual, bespoke event. |
