Calling all Star Wars fans: You need to visit this new maze
The maze is thought to be Europe’s biggest.
York Maze is celebrating 40 years of Star Wars with a huge maze dedicated to the movie franchise.
The Star Wars maze is cut from 18 acres of wheat field and features famous characters Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Han Solo and C-3PO, as well as a huge version of the Death Star.
The York Maze, believed to be the biggest in Europe, has lived through many iterations, with Thunderbirds, Doctor Who and Harry Potter all featuring in recent years.
The first Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, premiered in 1977. The latest film, The Last Jedi, is due to be released in December.
Creating the maze was a big challenge, but “one of the hardest decisions in designing the maze was who to leave out”, according to Tom.
