Turning the Wheels of Time

The wheels of time turn back over a hundred years as the peaceful village of Evandale in northern Tasmania once again plays host to the Evandale Village Fair and National Penny Farthing Championships.

The Evandale Village Fair is held annually in February, and features a full program of Penny Farthing bicycle racing featuring the National Penny Farthing Championship. Started in 1983, the Evandale Penny Farthing races attract enthusiasts from across Australia and around the world. A village fair and period themed festival in Pioneer Park accompanies the Penny Farthings races.

Pre-purchased tickets will be available online from January 2024.

Food & drink from the businesses of Evandale will be available surrounding the race circuit, but don't stop there! Explore the festivities in Pioneer Park as it transforms into a colonial country fair, featuring additional food & beverage stalls, period themed entertainment and general merchandise. There's something for everyone and we'd love you to join in the fun!
