How often: Annual
The wheels of time turn back 100 years as the peaceful village of Evandale once again plays host to The Evandale Village Fair and National Penny Farthing Championships.
The Evandale Village Fair is held annually and features a full program of Penny Farthing racing including the National Penny Farthing Championship.
Penny farthing enthusiasts converge on Evandale from throughout Australia and overseas to vie for a series of races, held on a triangular circuit in the centre of the village. Market stalls and a variety of entertainments are situated in the streets and parks surrounding the race circuit, creating the ambience of a colonial country fair.
This event was first held in 1983, based on an event held in Tunbridge, Tasmania, in the 1970s. The championships are recognised internationally as the largest annual event in the world devoted to racing antique bicycles.
The event includes the Penny Farthing Food Fest in Pioneer Park, a wide variety of stalls offering craft, bric-a-brac and cycling memorabilia, street entertainers, clowns, music, displays of veteran and vintage cars, traction engines and horses and carriages. There are pony rides for the children, novelty cycling events and puppet shows.
