Victorian Penny Farthing Act

Buckle up as this entertaining Victorian duo takes you on a trip back in time to the age of penny farthings and the question of the necessity of exercise for female health!

Mr & Mrs Sitwell take their full-sized penny farthing out for a ride. Mrs Sitwell astride the bike in her bifurcated garment (that’s bloomers to you and me!) making a case for the pluck and resolve of the fairer sex, whilst Mr Sitwell diligently strides ahead making sure children keep out from under her front wheel!

Dressed in authentic Victorian costumes, they take audiences through a circulation boosting exercise routine perfect for even the chilliest of days! But don’t worry instructional pamphlets are handed out to ensure everyone sees the benefits of this routine. A humorous and energetic form of historical entertainment, this mini street show and penny farthing demonstration is perfect for all kinds of Victorian and historical events.
