Friday 11November at 4pm will see the switch on of the brand new crown of lights over this years’ EDF Energy Ice Rink. The 30,000 sparkling LED lights will form a beautiful, glittering ceiling over the 432m² outdoor ice rink. The lights, which are attached by strands of wire to a centrepiece in the middle of the rink, took just under a week to install.

 

Half a dozen local companies and Norwich City Council have supported the purchase of the crown of lights over the rink and the new light curtains on the surrounding Forum building, helping to create a magical wintertime atmosphere in the heart of the city.

 

Mark Hand, Marketing Manager at The Forum Trust, the company charged with the management of The Forum building said; “We wanted to make the EDF Energy Ice Rink look really different this year and hope that this fantastic ceiling of 30,000 bright white lights will be the crowning glory on an already very popular wintertime activity here in Norwich.”

 

The EDF Energy Ice Rink opens at 10am on Saturday 12^th November 2005 and will run for eight weeks until Sunday 8^th January 2006.
