The festival will be held in the town centre on Saturday, 10 and Sunday, 11 May, and organisers hope it will be bigger than ever before.,
The Rev Chris Simmons from All Saints' Church said: "We have put together a fantastic range of activities.

"As in previous years, a team of local daredevils will be abseiling down the church tower on the Saturday. We are very excited about the bumper day we have organised for Sunday when Market Place will be the centre for a range of great attractions including bungee trampolining, fairground rides and marching bands.

"The church itself will host more activities including the hugely popular flying teddies and our very own festival cafe. Everyone is most welcome to come along and join in the fun."

Other activities include hot air balloons taking off from the Gliding Club and the Flying Man Quiz at Pocklington Community Junior School.
Anyone interested in taking part in the charity abseil, down All Saints' Church tower, should contact Alex Ramsden on (01759) 303418.

The Flying Man Festival is so called after showman Thomas Pelling who fell to his death while trying to 'fly' from All Saints' Church in 1733.
Originally started as a fundraising event for All Saints' Church's restoration appeal, the Flying Man weekend has become an annual event thanks to its success. Funds raised now go to the upkeep of the church -one of the town's historical landmarks.
