If Sapporo Snow Festival is just too far to go, you can get the same frosty feeling by visiting the London Ice Sculpting Festival, January 15th and 16th. This 2nd Annual event features International Ice Sculptors competing to carve their interpretation of the Festival's specially chosen theme, 'Cool Trading', from 2m blocks of ice! Free to attend, the festival is held in the centre of Canary Wharf, next to the ice rink in Canada Square Park.
