Our custom-designed ice bars
For more than 50 years, our team has created unique designs for countless events.
From minimalist, crystal clear features lit with LEDs to elaborate sculptural masterpieces, our award-winning sculptors work closely with clients to bring their vision to life.
Ice bars can be carved with intricate details, engraved with logos, coloured for dramatic effect, and designed to perfectly match your event’s theme.
Our ice bars can include:
- Custom dimensions to fit your venue and guest numbers
- Branding and logos etched into the ice
- Themed sculptural elements like bottle holders, ice luges, and other centrepieces
- Coloured LEDs and tinted ice
- Encased items, from wedding flowers to branded products
- Integrated drink displays to showcase premium spirits, champagne, or your own product

FAQs
How long does an ice bar last?
Our ice bars are designed to last, and typically, they remain intact for 24 to 48 hours, supported by discreet drainage boxes that collect the melting water. This slow, controlled process ensures the bar stays functional and intact throughout your event, right up until the last guest departs.
Can an Ice Bar be branded?
Yes, our team can engrave logos and letters as well as incorporate product display into the design.
Are ice bars suitable for outdoor events?
Yes, although outdoor temperatures and the temperamental British weather may affect longevity, we’ll work with you to design a solution that’s safe, stable and will last as long as you need it.
Do you provide the drinks and bar staff?
While we design, create and install the ice bar ourselves, the drinks, bartenders, and glassware are usually sourced by your catering or hospitality team.
However, we’re happy to liaise with them to ensure the bar functions seamlessly and can even supply ice-cold cups for drinks to be served from.
How much does an ice bar cost in the UK?
The cost of each ice bar will depend on the size, design complexity, and location. Our team will be more than happy to provide you with a free consultation and customised quote.
What happens to the ice bar after the event?
Our team will come in at a time that suits your venue to dismantle and remove the installation. The ice will naturally melt away into drainage boxes over time, so there’s no mess.
