IN PICTURES: 21 dazzling photos from this year's Bridlington Ice Trail and Food Festival

The second Bridlington Ice Trail was a success once again despite the rainy conditions on Saturday.

On Sunday, the weather was chilly and overcast, but it did not stop people making an effort to see the icy works of art.

The event, which included dazzling ice sculptures; spectacular fire and ice displays; and an expanded offering of food and festive market stalls, saw thousands of people visit the town from across Yorkshire - and beyond.

The HEY! Brid volunteers were based in strategic locations to hand out ice trail map, offering smiles and advice to the many visitors.

One mum, who had travelled from York with her two children, said they had made the special journey just to see the sculptures after spotting them last year while in the town.

Kate Williams, who followed the trail with Jack, 5, and Amelia, 8, said: "Last year we just happened to see them on a random visit but this time we made a special trip to see them.

"There was a reindeer near the leisure centre; Big Ben; a letter box to Santa; a car on the harbour; a gingerbread man, and a train on the seafront, all expertly carved."

Held alongside the Ice Trail was the Bridlington Food Festival, which saw producers, chefs, bakers, creatives and more from across the region set up stalls on King Street and Prince Street. Incredible smells filled the air as sweet treats, greek food and festive drinks were sold to hundreds of hungry visitors, while some got ahead with their Christmas shopping.
