Today we visited Durhams Fire and Ice Festival. This year's theme was travel through time and there were some pretty cool sculptures from Dr Stranges Eye of Agamotto to Stephens Rocket complete with steam and flat caps to wear while posing for photos.
The trail takes you round the city of Durham and into the Catherderal which gives you the opportunity to really take in the sights. The ice sculptures are all fairly close by so the trail isn't to strenuous for little legs.
Along the route you can see a live ice sculpture being created and also opportunities to have a go yourself with the help of the Ice Crew who are all lovely and really take their time talking to the children and showing them how to chisle the Ice.
There are plenty of dining opportunities in close proximity to the trail. We chose Bells Fish and Chip restaurant which is next to the market place. Not only is their food lovely and very reasonably priced but it also has gluten free options which is perfect for our coeliac daughter.
We would recommend using the park and ride service if you are planning on driving. The busses run every 10 minutes and cost £2 per adult with children free it makes for a much easier day not having to worry about parking.
