It is often set in an alternate, futuristic version of 19th century Victorian England steam powered devices – the ‘world gone mad’ as Victorian people may have imagined it.

Steampunk HQ has infiltrated the “Grain Elevator”.  An 1883 Oamaru stone building, located at the entrance of Oamaru’s Victorian Precinct.

We are constantly working with talented individuals to collaborate on projects and expand our collection.
