Fundraising for ancient bicycle

This penny farthing needs some tender loving care, and funds are being raised for the purpose

Fundraising for ancient bicycle
penny farthing

This Friday October 16 Rye's Museum is holding a fundraiser to cover the costs of restoring this ancient penny farthing bicycle (shown above), so-called because of the different sizes of its front and back wheels.

The evening starts at 6:30pm in the Museum's East Street site with wine and cheese and tickets are £12 on the door.

The event then moves on to the Town Hall for a performance by the Rye Shakespeare Company. Last year they performed a play suggesting that Disneyland should take over the running of Rye from Rother District Council so anything's possible in this latest performance - like replacing the much neglected Landgate with a plastic replica perhaps.
