MR MEN and Little Miss characters are being carved into more than a million maize plants in York as Europe's biggest maze prepares to reopen. York Maze have teamed up with Mr Men and Little Miss to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the popular children’s literary and TV characters when it launches in July. Farmer and York Maze creator Tom Pearcy has cut out more than 5 km of pathways in his 15-acre field of more than a million maize plants. In keeping with tradition, he aims to choose a maze design which is both topical and makes a great aerial image.
