Excellent work from the Midgley Pace Egg kids yesterday!
Having younger people drive the performance brings a chaotic athleticism & drama -
Enhanced this year by a teen metalhead aesthetic & WWE irreverent exuberance

I’ll be there, shaking a bucket and trying to work out what’s happening for the tenth year in a row 🤣 #paceegg #heptonstall

So tomorrow is the day everyone goes a little bit bonkers for the street theatre tradition that is Pace Egg and we’re honoured that the team are raising funds jointly for our charity and Red Cross. Give generously and if you miss a bucket, use the QR code 👇🏼🙏

The first #PaceEgg play in #Heptonstall since pre-covid. Sad to hear of the loss of the previous St George, but wonderful to see other old faces, & support for Ukraine,
And I got my first ever (covid-safe) kiss & egg from Toss Pot, woman's rite of passage round here!

#Easter is a time for #PaceEgg plays
There's plenty about them online, and it's good to continue traditions, but there's other important questions here:
> What's going on with the umbrella?
> The role of the dog in the glass case is?
Will we ever know?

...Eagle-eyed folkies will recognise the distinctive paper head-dresses of the Midgley School #PaceEgg troupe from #BrianShuel’s evocative snap for the cover of ‘Frost and Fire: A Calendar of Ritual and Magical Songs’ by #TheWatersons (@TopicRecords, 1965)

#GoodFriday is an intense focus of local calendar customs, sadly dormant this year.
Here's the famous Midgley #PaceEgg Play, performed by both Midgley School alumni and the Heptonstall Players in Weaver's Square, Heptonstall, 2019

Great that the Heptonstall Players are able to keep their long-running #GoodFriday #PaceEgg performance going this year as a digital folk play;
For anyone that missed the 11am, they'll reappear - possibly sloshed - at 1pm!!

A lovely picture of children performing a pace-egging play in Ulverston around 1900. I think that is Town Bank Grammar School in the background? #Ulverston #Cumbria #paceegg #folklore #mummers Picture from @ArmittMuseum
