The Ice Teams Cometh

If you like a bit of frivolity to disperse those January blues, purples and magentas, how does ice carving grab you? We mean, we know you’re probably cold enough already, but this is free and fun and makes us smile. Friday 9th - Sunday 11th January sees London’s first ever ice sculpting festival, which is taking place in the grounds of the Natural History Museum. It’ll be ice-picks at dawn as five teams battle it out to produce the best sculpture on the theme of ‘wildlife in the city’. You can even have a go at it yourself. Just don’t forget your gloves.
