Have a go at ice carving 12-5pm
Under the expert instruction of Glacial Arts - the team that is carving the main attractions and has worked on Game of Thrones - you can have a go at chiselling away your own frozen masterpiece. It takes place in Millennium Square near the Gala Theatre.
Ice carving demonstrations 12-4pm
Would you rather just watch the experts in action? You can see live carving demonstrations in Durham Marketplace between 12-4pm.
Fire performer 5-5.10pm
A short show in Durham Marketplace will see a fire performer literally playing with fire in a short show towards the end of the day. Should be exciting and well worth watching.
Evening fire show spectacular 5.15-5.25pm and 6-6.15pm
The finale of the Durham Fire and Ice event is the fire show spectacular, which involves water and fire shooting into the air in time to music. Taking place in front of St Nicholas Church in Durham Marketplace, it's well worth going along to see - and get there early as the crowds are usually quite deep.
Durham Fire and Ice 2019 closes 6.15pm
