Yorkshire Day is upon us once again, a time to celebrate all things great about the county – although for some, everyday is Yorkshire day. First marked in 1975 after the Yorkshire Ridings Society protested against local government reorganisation, this year’s official celebrations are taking place on Wednesday in the county’s smallest city, Ripon. There are plans for a parade through the market square, live music and a Wilfra Tart festival.
In past years people across Yorkshire have celebrated the day with pudding throwing contests, renaming pubs and councils have even come together to call for a “coalition of the willing” to fight for a devolution deal.
We want to know how and where you’re celebrating God’s Own County this year. Are you taking part in town parades? Is your local pub doing anything to mark the occasion? Are you a believer in devolution?
