Bridlington Ice Trail will return in November 2025 with a festive theme.
A magical trail will guide visitors through the heart of the seaside town, with a selection of icy spectacles.
This free event will take place on Saturday, 15 and Sunday, 16 November. The sculptures can be enjoyed from 11am both days and will be taken down at 5.30pm on Saturday and 3.30pm on Sunday.
The ice trail will depict traditional Christmas scenes as well maritime wonders, reflecting Bridlington’s rich coastal heritage.
There will be 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 take place over both days, beginning around 12 noon and taking two to three hours to complete.
Fire and ice shows will take place twice a day on both days and will feature ice sculpting using chainsaws and power tools, synchronised with a pyrotechnic display set to music.
Councillor Nick Coultish, East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism, said: “We are delighted to have secured funding from the UK Government to bring this charming event back to Bridlington for another exciting year.
“The ice displays are certain to be real crowd pleasers, drawing on a festive theme and shedding light on the coastal town, rich with culture and history.’’
Families will also be able to make the most of Santa’s Grotto on Saturday, 15 November, meeting Santa on his sleigh.

Throughout the weekend the Bridlington Christmas Food Festival will also be taking place on King Street.
This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and local businesses through the sponsorship of sculptures.
