Respected local artists will be returning to create another ice sculpture in Douglas in the run-up to Christmas.

Stephanie Quayle and Darren Jackson will bring the creation to life on Strand Street on Saturday, December 1 between 7am and 10am.

Marketing Manager Sarah Read of Wi-Manx - who are sponsoring this year's attraction - says it makes for a stunning feature.

Hints have been made about this year's design, with Douglas town centre manager Oliver Cheshire hoping everyone "flies down" to see it.
