Visitors to Blists Hill Victorian Town over the Easter Bank holiday weekend from 10-13 April can take part in the residents Easter celebrations. They are invited to arrive wearing an Easter bonnet and join in the celebrations with small prizes awarded each day; families can also watch the unusual pastime of egg dancing when village folk are blindfolded and have to dance across a street, trying their utmost to avoid stepping on eggs that are carefully placed along their route. Other activities include a hunt-the-chick competition, following a trail of clues around the recreated Victorian town, and the opportunity to take part in hands-on workshops including candle dipping and peg doll making.
