Boroughbridge-born Darren Sadler, four-time World’s Strongest Man competitor and co-founder of the Giants Live Arena Tour, said: "If you’ve only ever seen strongmen and women in action on the TV, you need to come down to York and see them in person – I promise you, it is like nothing you have ever seen before.
"Whether you’re a family who’ve loved watching captivating gladiatorial challenges on television, whether you’re budding strongmen and women, or whether you just want a thrilling day out, Giants Live is for you and York Barbican, close to my home and yours, is an amazing place to see the action."
Giants Live in York is the latest event in the strongmen and strongwomen’s tour which has already seen them perform in front of sell-out crowds in Sheffield and Leeds.
