EVENT
York Mystery Plays- Journey to Calvary
July 4, 2026
2:00 pm
The Bar Convent Garden becomes a stage for Journey to Calvary: Play no. 34. Jesus must carry his cross to the place of crucifixion, in response to the Bar Convent Arma Christi medieval scroll. Uniquely amongst the shows, Journey to Calvary does not include a waggon. This is because of the fundamentally processional nature of the play. Enhance your experience with a visit to the cafe and a drinks bar available in the garden PLUS enjoy 50% discount to the exhibition throughout the day to see the original Arma Christi and the new display Women in the Mystery Plays curated by Diane Heaven.
This is a free play that will run for approx. 20 minutes, some seating will be provided. You can find out more details from the festival here.
