Head down to Parliament Street to see our Cash-asaurus T-Rex, where coins will be frozen inside the dinosaur sculpture.
We’ll be inviting people to guess how much cash has been frozen inside the Cash-asaurus with one lucky person winning £1,000!
Other highlights this year include live ice carving over at St Sampson’s Square, magic and mythology at Middletons Hotel with sculptures from York Gin, City Cruises and Potions Cauldron – and the free to download York Quest app will bring some of York’s famous history to life!
