Is a very misunderstood movement......
In its true form, it is a community that embraces creativity and craftsmanship. A sub genre of science fiction, speculative fiction and fantasy that blends Victorian era aesthetics and Technology with Futuristic elements.
The Punk part, is actually a rebellion against the throw away society, poor manners and anti social behaviour.
They promote courtesy, care about the environment and the past.
We feel a perfect fit for Westbourne Village.
The Westbourne Arcade, taken from Poole Road side after the 1st world war- it is noted that the glass entrance canopy is no longer there.
The Beautiful Henry Joy Gothic Arcade, built in 1884-5 is still a tremendous feature in the heart of Westbourne.
THERE ARE PRIZES FOR THE BEST DRESSED
Judges will be looking for positive Victorian Sophisticated style and ingenuity, more suited to up beat Westbourne. Eccentric and whimsical is of course, order of the day and those that leave the eye of beholder smiling! Original crafted features and colour, rather than just bought pieces - are a noted plus.
There are a number of prizes, Most venues will give a prize, for who they feel is best dressed and more suited to their venue. more details will follow.......
