VISITING

 
 

York Ice Trail – Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th February

 

 

This February, York’s city centre will be transformed into An Enchanted City, where a mysterious spell has taken hold…

 

Wander through the historic streets and discover dazzling ice sculptures inspired by magic, mystery, and the weird and wonderful. Each corner reveals something new – from curious creatures to mythical marvels – in a trail bursting with enchantment.

 

For the first time we will be hosting a sculpture in our garden – “Wings of Ice” based on a Pegasus that if you look closely you will see on our Coat of Arms!

 

The sculpture is in our gardens and can be accessed via Piccadilly or Fossgate
