Bridlington will light up the dark this November as it hosts a new Ice Trail event.
The Ice Trial will feature a variety of stunning frozen sculptures with a ‘Christmas on the Coast’ theme, drawing visitors into the festive spirit with its sparkling spectacles.
This will be a free event taking place on Saturday, 16 November 10.30am to 5.30pm.
A magical trail will guide visitors through the heart of the seaside town, dazzling spectators and taking people on a wondrous 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.
Breathtaking 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.
Councillor Nick Coultish, East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism, said:
“We are pleased to receive funding from the UK Government to bring this enchanting ice sculpture display to Bridlington, increasing footfall during the festive period.
“It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season whilst honouring the town’s coastal heritage, creating lasting memories with family and friends.”
Throughout the weekend the Bridlington Christmas Food Festival will also be taking place on King Street so visitors will have the opportunity to make the most of the delicious delights on offer whilst perhaps partaking in a spot of Christmas shopping.
The Bridlington Town Council Christmas tree will be switched on following the final fire and ice show at 5.30pm.
