FLYING MAN WEEKEND 25-27th May 2012

This is an annual festival held in Pocklington. Photos from previous years.
The name comes from Thomas Pelling who was a travelling entertainer and whose act was to 'fly' down a rope
from a great height, dressed with wings. He came to an untimely end when performing his act in Pocklington and a plaque on the east end of the outside of the church commemorates the sad event.
The festival comprises a long weekend during which a variety of fund-raising activities take place. These include abseiling from the top of the tower,flying teddy bears, and other air-related events like hot air balloons and model aircraft.  A model of Pocklington airfield is often on display as well as an art exhibition with a flying theme.
