YO1 Radio's Nightshift

Midnight - 6:00am

York’s coolest annual festival returns at the start of next month – and organisers have given a first glimpse of one of the stunning ice statues that will feature.

Make it York’s ‘City of Dreams’ sculpture is just one of 33 ice sculptures that will line the city’s streets when the hugely popular York Ice Trail returns on February 3 and 4.

Carved out of huge blocks of ice and assembled for a photoshoot in front of York Minster, the sculpture resembles a steam locomotive seen front-on – presumably a reference to York’s railway past.

But a closer study reveals that the Minster, Clifford’s Tower and the bar walls are also incorporated in the design.

The sculpture is one of 33 set to line York’s historic streets during York Ice Trail.
