Steampunks will be gracing the streets of the Old Town during the second Winter Festival this coming Sunday (December 19).

Steampunk is a genre of science fiction that is set in historic times and is a style of design that combines historic elements with technology from yesteryear that is inspired by science fiction.

Basically, the movement is a homage to vintage fashion and many wonderful mechanical extras.
Chris Daniels, who runs the steampunk themed cafe Rhapsody on High Street is something of an enthusiast.

He said: “I had been chatting with friends from the Hull Steampunk Rebels and some of them visited the Old Town and thought the second festival on 19 December would be the ideal place to gather.”

Watch out for some fantastic picture opportunities.
