York is set to become a frozen Enchanted City – the theme for 2026 ice trail.
On Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 Feb, from 10:30am – 4pm, the city centre streets will host 29 dazzling ice sculptures inspired by magic, mystery, and the weird & wonderful.
Armed with a map from Visit York, you can follow the trail around the city’s medieval streets – but don’t take too long as the magic will melt away. Can you find them all?
