Entertaining The Masses
Entertainment in the Victorian Period
-Theatre Halls were numerous and performances
were regularly given by theatre troupes,
ventriloquists, hypnotists, poets, comedians,
choirs and orchestras.
-There were carnivals, art exhibitions and lessons
in singing, dancing and cooking to attend.
-Talks were given by visiting notables, scientists,
preachers, and people who had been adventuring
in different countries.
Depending on your social status, you could join
various social groups such as 'The Gleaners of
Nature', sewing and craft groups, sporting and
church groups, as well as various lodges and
friendly societies. Well-to-do ladies would often
join committees and organise events such as
bazaars and exhibitions to raise money for
hospitals, churches and charitable exhibitions.
However, in the 19th century, working hours were
long and the pay inadequate. Many working people
were poor and could not afford to attend the
theatre or have the time to join social groups, as
they had families and children to look after.
Entertainment was yet another area that separated
the classes.
