Anyone of a Steampunk persuasion who finds themselves in the Bootle area this Saturday might consider this. Organiser Tish Toglet of the Liverpool League of Gentlemen (And Extraordinary Ladies) volunteers at a children’s steampunk bookshop (yes, apparently there is such a thing) which is having a children’s literary festival (seemingly part of a wider Bootle Literary Festival running from Thursday to Saturday). They are asking for steampunks to come and do their usual stuff including tea- and parasol-duelling and general promenading around. Contact Tish via the Facebook event if you’d like to take part. Anyone in steampunk attire gets free tea and biscuits. Professor Elemental will be doing a free gig in the evening at the Locke and Key pub.
