Passion Play 2024

Telling the story of the ultimate sacrifice

Passion Plays are dramatic presentations depicting the Passion of Jesus Christ: his trial, suffering and death, and resurrection.  They are performed in many cities around the UK and around the world and bring the true meaning of Easter to our streets.

In 2023, many of those watching were moved to tears by the emotion of the drama playing out before them in the heart of historic Worcester.

We invite you to come and see this amazing story for yourself this Easter!
