Victorian Penny Farthing Act

Get ready as this captivating Victorian duo transports you back in time to the era of penny farthings and the debate over the necessity of exercise for women's health!

Mr & Mrs Sitwell take their full-sized penny farthing for a spin. Mrs Sitwell, seated on the bike in her bifurcated garment (bloomers as we know them), champions the courage and determination of women, while Mr Sitwell walks ahead, ensuring children stay clear from her front wheel!

Clad in authentic Victorian costumes, they lead audiences through a circulation-boosting exercise routine, perfect even for the chilliest days! Don't worry, instructional pamphlets are provided to ensure everyone appreciates the benefits of the routine. A humorous and energetic form of historical entertainment, this mini street show and penny farthing demonstration is ideal for all kinds of Victorian and historical events.
