This is an Easter resurrection story with a difference: A giant animatronic puppet was unveiled to the media in Cornwall in the last night (March 29), ahead of a tour around England.

The Man Engine was first built in 2016 to celebrate Cornwall's mining heritage. It is a mechanical tin miner standing at 11.2 metres tall.

It is about to undergo a second, so-called Resurrection tour around England in the coming weeks.

The Man Engine, created in 2016 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Cornish Mining Heritage site, is a giant animatronic puppet which is the tallest in the world. Massive crowds jammed in to towns across Cornwall to get a glimpse of the show surrounding the Man Engine last time round. Now doing a second "Resurrection' tour, the 12 metre tall mechanical marvel will be doing shows across Cornwall again, but extending to towns in Devon, Wales and the Midlands. https://www.themanengine.org.uk
