Easter at Blists Hill Victorian Town - March 29 to April 1
Blists Hill’s traditional Easter celebrations will include egg dancing, a ‘hunt the chick’ competition, drop-in

A highlight will be the unusual pastime of egg dancing, which will take place opposite the Print Shop.
Once blindfolded, the townsfolk will dance across the street without stepping on eggs that are carefully placed along their route.
After the demonstration, you are invited to have a go with mini Easter eggs and lollies as rewards for all who
complete the course without stepping on an egg. You can also take part in the ‘hunt-the-chick’ competition,
following a trail of clues around the recreated Victorian town; join a sing-along in the New Inn Public House
and try hands-on workshops as well as watch open-air performances by the Prince Albert Players and Kaleidoscope Theatre.
Families should come wearing their best Easter Bonnets, as the Town’s Milliner will be judging the finest creations
