The York Ice Trail is back – and will take visitors ‘around the world’.
After being cancelled last year due to government restrictions and postponed from February due to Covid concerns, the much-loved family-friendly trail is back for 2022.
York Ice Trail 2022 will take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 March.

Organised by Make It York with First York as the main sponsor, the theme for this year is Around the World – go travelling to real and fictional places and see how many sculptures you can spot.
