Bridlington is sparkling today as the town hosts a brand new free Christmas event – the Bridlington Ice Trail.
Themed 'Christmas on the Coast,' a series of stunning ice sculptures will form a magical trail through the heart of the seaside town. Pick up an ice trail map and have fun exploring Bridlington with your family and friends.
Along the way, you'll discover interactive displays and live ice carving, where blocks of ice are transformed into glistening coastal Christmas masterpieces right before your eyes.
The ice trail will guide you on a festive journey, with sculptures depicting traditional Christmas scenes and maritime wonders, all reflecting Bridlington's rich coastal heritage. As night falls, the ice sculptures will come alive with a dazzling display of lights.
The Bridlington Ice Trail promises to be a highlight of East Yorkshire's Christmas events season so wrap up warm and explore the wonders of 'Christmas on the Coast'. Should you need a helping hand on your icy quest, our friendly team at the Bridlington Tourist Information Centre will be there to guide you every step of the way.
If you've ever wondered how ice sculptures are made, be sure to come along to our live ice carving where you can watch the team from Glacial Art in action.
The live ice carving will begin around 12 noon and will take 2 to 3 hours.
Throughout the day, there will be fire and ice shows, culminating in a finale to mark the end of the event. Three 15-minute performances will feature ice sculpting using chainsaws and power tools, synchronised with a choreographed pyrotechnic display set to music.
Catch the shows at 1pm, 3pm and 5.15pm.
Alongside the spectacular Bridlington Ice Trail, there will be lots more Christmas activities to enjoy. Why not stick around after the Bridlington Ice Trail to watch Bridlington's huge Christmas tree being lit up? Bridlington's Christmas Food Festival will be taking place all weekend too on King Street, providing the perfect opportunity to enjoy some festive feasting and do some Christmas shopping.
The men behind the event are Glacial Arts Ice Sculptures, headed by Mat Foster and Artistic Director Mat Chaloner, who spoke to Andrew Snaith, on Friday, ahead of the big launch:
