How much do ice sculptures cost for PR Events?

The cost of an ice sculpture typically depends on the number of ice blocks used to build it, the time it takes to complete and also the distance that it has to travel. Delivering ice sculptures for PR events typically requires additional travel and design work, to ensure that the brief is met to your satisfaction. We account for this when quoting based on your enquiry.

How to use ice sculpture for PR events

Ice sculptures can be so striking that they’re enough to make anyone stop in their tracks. Over the years, we’ve designed and sculpted a number of sculptures that aim to get the maximum attention and interaction from the general public.

Lifesize sculpture – It’s not everyday that most people see a lifesize ape astride a horse made of ice in the middle of their high street – that alone is enough for some to take out their phone and share with their friends.

Thrones – An empty ice throne is a difficult thing to simply walk past. Every passerby is tempted to have a quick sit down and feel a little regal. Thrones make for fantastic photo opportunities, and can be easily themed around your product or brand.

Bars and booths – Invite the general public into a paradoxically cosy bar made of ice, or serve them samples whilst sat in a makeshift restaurant booth. These grand constructions draw crowds of onlookers during its construction and queues from those wanting to get inside.

Picture frames – Themed picture ice frames serve as both an irresistible photo opportunity, as well as a cunning bit of product placement. One well placed picture frame can generate hundreds of pictures which can then be shared to thousands (along with your brand).

Product display – Launch your product in a truly unique way. Encase your product in ice, create a giant-sized ice replica, or serve up fresh samples on an ornate carved platter. We can work with your brand to create a display that synergises with your new product or messaging.

Fancy something extra special?

Hold an interactive demonstration

Get your audience in on the action with a hands-on demonstration that puts the ice carving tools in their hands. Create a genuine shareable moment with newcomers to your brand. We’ll get the sculpture started and then put the tools in the hands of your audience, as they chip away at a carving designed around your brand or product.

Commission an ice trail

Take over a shopping centre or high street with an immersive ice trail comprised of ice sculptures of your own design. Highlight local legends, create likenesses of your star employees or visualise your brand’s story with a series of ice sculptures – each one offering a unique photo opportunity for those passing by.

Create an ice bar installation

Create a branded experience that becomes a magnet for local footfall and tourists alike. We can build a fully functional semi-permanent ice bar that remains operational for months at a time. Complete your ice bar with seating, themed ice sculptures and product displays to drive home your messaging whilst delivering an unforgettable experience.

Case Studies

FAQs

How big can ice sculptures be?

Ice sculptures can be as big as you need them to be. Some of the largest ice sculptures we’ve worked on for competitions have exceeded 5 metres in height. We frequently deliver ice sculptures up to 300kg in weight to clients around the country.

Can you make an ice sculpture based on any design?

We can sculpt ice to any brief that you set. We’ll work with your brief to develop a practical design that can accomplish the effect that you need within the given timeframes. Once the design has been approved, we can spec out the amount of ice required to construct what you need, and factor in any additional logistics required in delivering the sculptures within your timeframe and location.

Can you deliver ice sculpture overseas?

No location is too far for us – we’ve transported ice bars to the Cannes Film Festival, and ice henges to Ireland. With the aid of refrigerated transport, we can deliver our ice across the UK and Europe. For commercial work that takes us further afield, we can source ice locally and carve on location.

Can you incorporate colour into ice sculpture?

Incorporating colour into ice sculptures can really make it pop, especially at indoor events or at night. This can be achieved in two ways; either by using LED lighting or by incorporating physical objects such as products, logos or brand messages on plaques into the sculpture itself.

How long do ice sculptures last?

The lifespan of a life sculpture is dependent on its size and shape, as well as the conditions that it’s kept in. The larger the ice sculpture the longer it will last. Fine details and texture melt first of all, leaving the sculpture to take on a smoother sheen as time passes. A large-scale sculpture kept in cool conditions of 8°C can last for months on end.

How long does it take to make an ice sculpture?

It can take between 3 and 12 hours to make an ice sculpture depending on the size and design of the piece. In many cases, ice sculptures can be made weeks or months in advance and then stored in deep-freeze before being delivered in a refrigerated van.

Are you fully insured?

We have full liability insurance covering us to work in a wide variety of working conditions, including on the high street and in shopping centres.
