The York Ice Trail returned to the city on Saturday (Feb 3) and Sunday (Feb 4), with 33 statues.
The sculptures take the form of a clock, a sewing machine, a train, a bus, an umbrella and even a six-foot-tall Fabergé-inspired egg.
The enormous egg is located outside one of the local businesses participating, Bradley’s Jewellers, in Low Petergate, and was inspired by the store’s collaboration with the world-renowned company.
Of course, the sculpture to kick off the trail – the “City of Dreams” ice statue – is found on Parliament Street and provided by Make It York.
The trail ends in St Sampson Square with the ‘live carving’ works of ice.
