Christmas ice sculpture trail to return to city

There are 14 ice sculptures located across the city

A Christmas trail of ice sculptures is to return to the streets of Lincoln.

The 14 hand-carved artworks will reflect the city's history and culture and take inspiration from the Lincoln Imp – a grotesque stone carving inside the cathedral.

The event will be staged on the 6 and 7 December in conjunction with a craft fair in Castle Square.

There will also be performances and live music from a range of groups, as well as an ice sculpting demonstration.

Councillor Joshua Wells said the event was "a highlight of the city's festive calendar".

"This year's new Lincoln Imp theme adds a fun, interactive twist to the trail," he said.

"We're delighted to once again showcase the creativity, community spirit and festive joy that make Lincoln so special.

"Whether you plan to spend the day or full weekend in our city centre, there's so much to do and explore."

The trail will be running alongside a market and live entertainment

Events will run from 11:00 to 17:00 each day.
