York Ice Trail 2023 - A Journey Through Time
Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th February 2023.
The UK’s biggest outdoor Ice Trail and one of York’s best loved events, will return for more family friendly fun on the 4th and 5th February 2023 with a range of magnificent ice sculptures transforming the city centre.
Get ready for an icy adventure and go on “A Journey Through Time” as you walk through history and step into the future and once again see the “coolest” sculptures lining the streets.
With plenty of carvings waiting to be discovered across the city centre, it is a great way for families to explore the historic city of York. Providing a fantastic day out with endless photo opportunities and interactive activities galore, it is not one to be missed! When you need to refuel, the Shambles Food Court offers the finest food-to-go, with a great range of global flavours.
