Join the Sussex Blazing Saddles in performances and pop-up displays about the impact of bicycles on women in Sussex from the 1890s to 1928. This was an important time of revolution for women when bicycles spurred the suffrage movement, transformed women’s clothing and caused media sensations. Blazing Saddles is a visually stunning & joyful, outdoor dance performance celebrating women, cycling & fashion; a wry look at pink, evolving cultural taboos, modern women & bikes.
This is part of a 2-year Sussex project led by KP Projects CIC, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and local partners, working with archives, community groups, local museums and volunteers to find forgotten stories about pioneering women cyclists.
This event is part of the Worthing ‘Spin Out’ Festival, presented by Worthing Theatres & Museum and as part of the Sussex Blazing Saddle.
