Christ in the Centre is a full, dramatic recreation of the Easter story, and is firmly established as one of the biggest and most effective pieces of Christian outreach staged in the country.

The key to its success is that it brings the true meaning of Easter alive for an audience of approaching 10,000 people gathered in Leicester city centre in a dramatic and compelling way.

2012′s event more than matched those of previous years for passion and emotion, thanks to another wonderful performance by the cast and lots of hard work from the supporting company.

This year’s event cost around £40,000 to stage – the vast majority of that being the cost of the staging and sound systems required to ensure a crowd that approaches 10,000 people can all see and hear the drama clearly.

If you’d really like to help us on the funding side, we are looking for someone to join the committee to lead an all year round fund raising effort – all enquiries into what is involved welcome!

For the past few years the entire event has been signed for the hard of hearing: this innovation was introduced at the suggestion of an audience member. So if you have any ideas that you think would improve the event please get in touch with any of the organising committee (see names and addresses on the right hand side of this page).

And please keep an eye on this website for first news of the 2013 event!

The organisers of ‘Christ in the Centre’ have now met and agreed a budget and so the event is taking place in 2010 on 2nd April (Good Friday) in Leicester.  Rehearsal dates can be found here.  First script reading and casting session (everybody invited) is from 10am to 1pm (Bring & Share Lunch until 4pm) on 31st October 2009 at Christ Church United Reform Church, Dumbleton Avenue, Rowley Fields, Leicester LE3 2EG.
