As some of you may be aware, four days ago, I set up the
British Steampunk Events Page on facebook.
I am aware that not everybody is happy with facebook, and I would certainly encourage everyone to continue listing their events on Brass Goggles.
For those who are not facebook fans, here is the latest list from the facebook page.
Obviously this list is limited to those events that have been submitted to the Facebook group. If you are planning a Steampunk Event, please add the details to the British Steampunk events page.I shall endeavour to update the list below at the start of each month,
You can find the most recent version of this list, HERE.

Steel and Water LARPhttp://steelandwater.brownpapertickets.com/https://www.facebook.com/events/182472478577322It's 1882 and Belfast sits proudly as the de facto capital of The Federated
Northern Isles. Its docks bustle with trade and the populace thrives.
Boasting the worlds first subterranean, submarine public transit system and home to
some of the worlds grandest and finest engineering Belfast is the very
model of a modern city. However, civilisation and endeavour always come
at a price and must always face trials.
An immersion roleplay experience in which you become your
steampunk persona and face the challenges of an advanced and alternative
Belfast.

Wymondham Dickensian Steampunk Fayrehttps://www.facebook.com/events/501029803306752Many of the local shops will take up the Steampunk theme from opening time, thus giving vistors time to explore the town in style before the Fayre opens. The Market Place is slosed to traffic from mid-day . The Fayre itself opens at 2.00pm, together with a running programme of entertainment until 6.00pm. Then for the rest of the evening most (if not all) of the local pubs and clubs will provide further entertainment.
