Fire and ice themed winter festival with live ice-carving shows, fire displays, a trail of ice sculptures and a giant snow globe in the city centre.
The Swansea Fire and Ice Festival takes over St David's Place on Saturday 5 December, from 1pm to 7pm. It's built around fire and ice themed performances, and the whole thing is spread across the city centre rather than staying in one spot.
The ice side of things is the bigger part of the day. There are live ice-carving shows to watch, and a trail of ice sculptures hidden across the city next to some of Swansea's landmarks, so you'll be walking around the centre to find them all. There's also a giant snow globe you can stand inside, and a chance to get stuck in yourself with interactive ice carving. Frozen sweet treats and an ice throne are part of the mix too.
When it gets dark, the fire performances take over. The trail of sculptures leads you towards the Christmas Market, which stays open later than usual, so you can keep going after the festival wraps up. Throughout the day, music runs from The Caroler's Cabin, sponsored by Costa Coffee.
