TICKETS go on sale today for the 2014 York Mystery Plays, mounted by the Guilds of York this summer.

After nearly four years of planning, the York pageant wagon plays will roll out on to the city streets on successive Sundays, July 13 and 20. Around 600 community participants will be involved, including actors, set builders, wagon-pushing teams and musicians.

Mystery plays have been performed on wagons in the city of York since medieval times, telling the story of the world from the beginning of all things to the end of all things.

The playing stations on July 13 will be Dean’s Park by York Minster, College Green, King’s Square and King’s Manor; July 20, Dean’s Park, College Green, St Sampson Square and Museum Gardens. Some have ticketed seating; all have free viewing too.
