Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 06:04 · Archive
A giant inflatable spider will perform in York city centre on 31 October as part of a free family Halloween event.
A giant inflatable spider will take over York city centre on 31 October as part of York BID's Family Friendly Saturday. The towering arachnid, over eight feet tall and twelve feet wide, will be brought to life by a skilled puppeteer who will make it bounce, sway and scuttle through the streets.
Performances will take place at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm, with the spider moving through Little Stonegate, Back Swinegate, Swinegate and Grape Lane. Carl Alsop, operations manager at York BID, said the event would give families 'another great reason to spend time in the city centre together' and described it as 'a really special Halloween spectacle'.
The event is free and open to all, with no tickets required. This marks the 13th Family Friendly Saturday organised by York BID, part of its Purple Flag initiative to make the city centre safe, vibrant and welcoming.
