There’s just a few weeks of icy fun left at the Liverpool Christmas Ice Festival

Have you twirled around on the ice rink, sipped a mulled wine or seen the city from the sky high swings yet?

Wrap up in a silver blanket and take shots in the Ice Bar, get warmed through with a mulled wine, tuck into festive fries and frankfurters or fill your boots with Pic N’ Mix or don your skates, grab a penguin and glide on the canopied ice rink like Torvil & Dean.
