Location
Know Before You Go
- Parking: Visitors are encouraged to use the Park and Ride because of expected heavy congestion. The car park is open 8am to 8pm, with land train transport to town from 10am to 4pm.
- Accessibility: Bridlington offers mostly smooth, flat surfaces with ramped access, and sculpture locations are chosen to ensure maximum accessibility.
- Pets: Dogs are welcome, but visitors should consider whether their dog can cope with a busy environment.
Tips & Advice
- Park at the Park and Ride and take the land train into town, because heavy congestion is expected in the centre over the weekend.
- Download the trail map or use the online version before you set off, or pick up a free printed copy at Bridlington Spa.
- Don't leave it too late in the day, because wet, sunny or windy weather can melt the sculptures faster and some may be removed.
- Look but don't touch the sculptures, because handling or climbing on them can damage them and get them taken off the trail.
- Dress warmly for a November day by the sea, as the trail runs outdoors through Bridlington's streets and public spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a trail map?
Free printed maps are at Bridlington Spa. You can also download the map or use the online version, which cuts down on printing.
Can I watch the sculptures being made?
Yes. Glacial Art designs and hand-carves every sculpture, and there's live ice carving during the trail.
Can I touch the ice sculptures?
Get as close as you like, but don't touch or climb on them. That can damage them, and damaged sculptures may have to be removed.
Why might some sculptures disappear during the day?
Wet, sunny or windy weather makes the ice melt faster. When that happens, sculptures may be taken away for safety.
What's at the market?
The market stalls sell local crafts, treats and Christmas gifts.
