This weekend was the London Ice Sculpting Festival 2014 that took place indoor and out all over the Canary Wharf estate. After a lunch with a friend, I popped by to check out the festivities. On Sunday, when I was there, the theme for the ice sculptors was "Fabulous Fashion".
And like any good festival there were food stalls to tempt one and all and a hot drink to warm your bones as you viewed the sculptors at work.
There were performances and although it's quite mild here it was chilly this night and I felt for these sleeveless dancers.
You could even try your own hand at sculpting ice, if the line up hadn't been so long, I would have liked to have tried it out myself.
I couldn't resist a small cup of luxury hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Did you make it to the festival and cheer on the winners?
Fun travels!
This is so cool, I had no idea this festival was on!
ReplyDeleteI would have had no idea either, but this is my hood and I happened to see a poster for it earlier that week. I seems to be an annual thing, check it out next year!
Deletesome of them are really amazing, pity that they won't last long:)
ReplyDeletePart of the beauty and glassy look comes from it melting away. But I agree, it is a shame.
DeleteMust have been fun to watch them in action!
