A massive 25 tons of crystal clear carving ice will be used to create the Ice bar, Ice Gallery and carving displays. The rink holds approximately 7 tons of ice covering over 600 sq. metres.
Ice Box, a team of highly experienced artists - who worked on the London Ice Sculpting Festival - brings this incredible Ice experience to the UK for the first time.

Throughout Chavasse Park, there will be plenty of activities to keep younger visitors entertained.
