Yorkshire’s own superhero Yorkshire-Man will be jumping into a giant Yorkshire Pudding filled with gravy as part of the Yorkshire Day celebrations at York Maze on Thursday 1st August.
The giant Yorkshire Pudding is over 6ft in diameter and holds 2000 litres of gravy!
York Maze owner Tom Pearcy said,
“With an ey up and away, Yorkshire-Man will be leaping into the giant Yorkshire Pudding filled with gravy, we’re advising spectators to stand well back lest they get a good dousing in gravy too!”

The child and adult with the biggest throws will be crowned winners.
