Winter ice festival

Wrap up warm and come along with your family or friends for a day to experience ice sculpting experts alongside interactive workshops.

In Jubilee Park you will find a frozen ice trail of 15 specially carved ice sculptures, each one carved into a different bird or animal, highlighting endangered species.

You can also watch the experts in action at one of our big block carvings where you can see showstopping live ice sculpting as creations take shape using chainsaws and chisels.

If you would rather have a go yourself then take part in one of our free masterclasses. These 20 minute sessions will give you all the tools and tips needed to sculpt a polar bear and are available on a first come, first served basis. Ice graffiti walls will also be dotted around if you would rather get more creative.

A timetable and map detailing times and locations will be available nearer the time, please check back for full details.
