York city centre street and businesses host Yorkshire Day celebrations

YORK city centre streets and venues will be joining in the county's unique celebration today (August 1) and beyond.

At York Maze, superhero ‘Yorkshire-Man’ in his Lycra suit and flat cap will be jumping into a giant ‘Yorkshire pudding’ filled with 2000 litres of gravy.

Maze Owner Tom Pearcy said: “We’re advising spectators to stand well back lest they get a good dousing in gravy too!”
