About
Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th February 2026, 10:30am - 4pm. A Make It York event.
This February, York’s city centre will be transformed into An Enchanted City, where a mysterious spell has taken hold...
Wander through the historic streets and discover dazzling ice sculptures inspired by magic, mystery, and the weird and wonderful. Each corner reveals something new - from curious creatures to mythical marvels - in a trail bursting with enchantment. But beware... who cast the spell, and why? Follow the trail with the whole family to uncover the truth, before the magic melts away.
New for 2026! Step into the Ice Village - a brand new addition filled with family-friendly fun and themed traders offering magical delights. Make sure to book a place on one of the Ice Carving Masterclasses and learn how to carve a polar bear!
Need help on your icy adventure? Pop into the Visit York Visitor Information Centre on Parliament Street - our friendly team is here to help every step of the way. Just around the corner, warm up with delicious street food at Shambles Food Court.
