Absolutely splendiferous and thrilling! Congratulations on a truly excellent night – so much creativity and brilliance trussed up in velvet, leather and brass into a shiny utopian dream. What an awesome mix. Am now totally obsessed with all things Steampunk. Thankyou all involved!

Ahh thanks Graham for your feeback – much appreciated! We were quite overwhelmed by the turn out but such a great vibe from everyone – we had so much fun. Yes it is well worth a trip back there are some great pieces to see at the exhibition (which agreed was a little hard to see through the throng of people). It has been such a fantastic experience working with so many talented artists! Hopefully see you back soon :)

After a hurried meal at the nearby Gusto restaurant (recommended by Mary – and us now) we arrived about 7.00pm on Friday night to find a throng of friendly like-minded, well-attired individuals enjoying a drink, nibble, music from the band and the costumes on display. Moved inside later to take in the fashion parade – more wonderfully inventive outfits – and to see the exhibition itself. Easier said than done with the number of people enjoying the night, and it seemed quite a few neighbours turned up to see what all the fuss was about. We did get to see the exhibition in the end, and will be back soon to have a second look as it deserves a return visit.
