Bridlington will light up the dark nights this November as it hosts an exciting new event – the Bridlington Ice Trail.
The Ice Trial is set to feature a variety of stunning frozen sculptures with a ‘Christmas on the Coast’ theme.
The free event is taking place on Saturday, 16 November 10.30am to 5.30pm.
The magical trail will guide visitors through the heart of the seaside town, dazzling spectators and taking people on a wonderous journey of discovery.
The ice trail will depict traditional Christmas scenes as well maritime wonders, reflecting Bridlington’s rich coastal heritage.
One of the most exciting additions to the trail will be a live ice carving in which a sculptor will craft an impressive Yuletide masterpiece from an enormous block of ice. The fascinating glacial art carving will begin around 12 noon and take 2 to 3 hours to complete.
Fire and ice shows will be sure to bring joy to spectators, igniting their love of Christmas through choreographed performances.
These shows will take place at 1pm, 3pm and 5.15pm and will feature ice sculpting using chainsaws and power tools, synchronised with a pyrotechnic display set to music.
Should visitors need a helping hand on their icy quest, a friendly team will be there to provide guidance every step of the way.
Closer to the event their will also feature a downloadable Ice Trail map to keep everyone on the right track.
