York
Date: 1st & 2nd February
Venue: York City Centre
Once upon a time, there was a city called York. In the depths of winter a spell was cast over the city. As if by magic, 40 sculptures of solid ice appeared, providing the people of York with frosty, fantastical and fairy-tale fun.
Live carving, hands-on experiences and the chance to win great prizes will provide you with some happily ever after.
