The Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News will be bringing an icy paradise to the Castle Mall Gardens later this month.
And now, after the phone lines were hot for the much-anticipated event and tickets are on sale online, the first step in constructing the real ice rink is in motion.
Set in the Castle Mall Gardens every day except Christmas Day from December 6 to January 2, the winter spectacular promises to be the perfect backdrop for romantic days or a fun night out.
Archant's ice rink organiser, Maryrisa Chappell, said: 'We have been overwhelmed by the reaction to the EDP and Norwich Evening News' ice rink.

'The phone lines have been really busy and some people might be concerned that they missed the opportunity to get tickets.
'But please do go online now and book your tickets that way. We are really excited to welcome you all to this exciting venture.
