The Preston Passion

Television presenter Fern Britton and pop star Heather Small are among the star names who will appear in BBC One’s The Preston Passion, which will be broadcast from the city.

Broadcasting from a central Preston location, Fern will anchor the Preston Passion live event on Good Friday, April 6, while introducing three short pre-recorded dramas, which will be shown simultaneously on a big screen in Preston and on BBC One.

The ambitious Preston Passion live spectacle aims to involve 3,500 local residents as performers and spectators. In addition to local choirs singing traditional Easter music, large-scale choreographed crowd movements across the city will re-create ‘human crosses’. The stunning live spectacle will also include contemporary dance pieces and traditional local brass band music. And, to close Preston Passion’s live programme of performance, M People’s Heather Small will sing Candi Staton’s gospel classic, ‘You Got The Love’.
