There's a reindeer in Meadowhall. Sadly it's not real, but it is a very realistic puppet.
It's been brought to life by the associate director and associate puppetry director of Warhorse and it's 7ft high.
It's been revealed that a majority of UK water companies - including Yorkshire Water - use divining rods to find underground pipes - despite the fact there's no evidence to suggest the centuries-old method works.
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat is it?
The process of using divining rods is also known as dowsing and has been in use for hundreds of years.
It's the art of trying to find sources of water and other materials below the ground.
Practitioners use nothing but a twig or rod and there are still many people who claim to have had success with it - and even people who make careers out of it.
Does it work?
Experiments to test its accuracy suggest it only seems to "work" when the dowser has some unconscious knowledge of where the source is.
Other experiments have suggested the movement of the rods is the result of muscle movements caused by subconscious mental activity - the same way in which people move a glass on a Ouija board.
Can I see it in action?
Yes. John Baker from Kent is one of those who makes a living out of divining for water:
How about this for a selfie?

A police vehicle was rammed as robbers made their escape following the theft of a cash machine from a bank near York early this morning, it's been revealed.
Officers were called just after 03:30 to reports of an incident at the HSBC on Market Place in Pocklington.
A JCB teleporter vehicle was used to steal the ATM, which was loaded onto the back of a green and white Ford Transit flatbed van.
The van and the damaged cash machine were later found near a roundabout close to the Pocklington industrial estate.
Officers say two white estate cars were also used in the theft. One was thought to be an Audi.
