THE Enchanted Christmas theme continues when ice magic arrives in Chester this weekend (November 28-29).
There is a fantastic prize to be won from Rigby Jewellers in Frodsham Street; a fabulous ring or Lovelinks Bracelet worth £275 in a competition supported by Chester’s Dee 106.3.
On Saturday, artists arrive in Eastgate Street to create a Christmas ice sculpture. Look out for the large ring that will be frozen into a block of ice.
Can you predict when the ice will melt and release the ring? All you have to do is guess how long the ring will take to drop to the ground.
Just text your guess on the day to ‘dee ice’ followed by the time to 60300 eg12h 52m (12 hours 52 minutes). The clock starts at 11am, text your answer between 11am and midnight on Saturday. The winner will be person whose prediction is closest to the time.
