SUMMARY:Giant Inflatable Octopus
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a spectacular free city-centre experience this spring as a giant inflatable octopus arrives for York BID’s latest Family Friendly Saturday event. \nThe giant octopus puppet is set to captivate crowds on Saturday 28th March 2026\, with performances at 2pm\, 4pm\, and 6pm. Towering above onlookers\, the friendly character features eight fully articulated tentacles and is brought to life by a skilled puppeteer\, creating a striking spectacle and memorable photo opportunity for all ages. \nThe event will take place at King’s Staith and surrounding area. If King’s Staith is inaccessible due to high river levels\, performances will move to the Eye of York – the open space in front of York Castle Museum and Clifford’s Tower. \nThis is a free event with no tickets needed.
