Actress Jill Halfpenny, one of the north east's best-loved and most dedicated champions, takes us on a personal journey of discovery through the region, exploring how ancient Christian paths criss-crossed this part of world, inspiring unique traditions and customs, many of which are still celebrated at Easter.
Jill returns to her hometown of Gateshead, visiting the Angel of the North, and Hexham to meet the creator of the Angel, Sir Antony Gormley. She also visits The Hearts Of Oak pub in Peterlee, where she rediscovers a traditional game from her youth - Egg Jarping. The pub hosts the official world championships every Easter.
