Pace Egg plays are traditional plays with their own unique character and are performed during Easter, mainly in the north-western corner of England.
The traditional Pace Egg plays are performed in the Calder Valley, including at Heptonstall’s Weavers Square on Good Fridays, attracting hundreds of visitors to the village.
