Bridlington Spa is at the Centre of a World Record Attempt this Weekend.

Cardboard and sticky backed plastic are being employed in a world record attempt in Bridlington this weekend.

It all revolves around building a giant model of a trojan horse.

Lee Threadgold is from the Animated Object theatre company who are co-ordinating the record attempt, he says it's going to be something of a giant.

Local people are involved in trying to create the world's largest sculpture made entirely from cardboard.

The trojan horse is going the be the height of three double decker buses.

Lee Threadgold says it's required some careful planning.

Construction has been taking place over the last few days with finishing touches being added over the weekend.

The event this weekend will include a number of free activities including

  • Workshops
  • Storytelling
  • Artists Stalls
  • Face Painting
  • Film showings
  •  Live Music with Raven

It's taking place in the grand hall at Bridlington Spa from 10am - 6pm on Saturday and 10am - 4pm on Sunday. Admission is free.
