Now doesn't this subject line sound intriguing..... Well, if you haven't already heard, Vauxhall have specially designed and built a bespoke giant snow globe for the hotly-awaited Vauxhall Ice Skate event.

The one-of-a-kind snow shaker, will be filled with over 50 bags of artificial snow for the much anticipated ice skating disco, to take place in central London tomorrow night (Thur 28th Jan). At five metres in diameter the globe is easily large enough to accommodate the New Astra.

After the success of this summer’s Vauxhall Skate event, they have teamed up with some of the UK’s best music, design, and style talents to drive some winter excitement into London. Celebrities to DJ at this ‘Enchanted Evening’ include chart-topper Mr. Hudson, Sting’s talented daughter Coco Sumner and radio and television presenter George Lamb.

In addition to the snow globe-encased Astra, the famous and fun Car-aoke Corsa will be making a stylish return, with special hosts signed up to get the car rocking with the ultimate party tunes.

Vauxhall Motors continue their long-standing relationship with up-and-coming design talents for this event. Having teamed up with British fashion designer Emma Bell and illustrator Kate Moross for the last two successful events; Emma Bell’s Vault for Vauxhall and Vauxhall Skate, this year sees collaboration with illustrator extraordinaire Si Scott. Famed for his distinctive hand-inked and penned artwork style, Si has created the perfect winter-inspired event logo for this truly unique event. So that's ice-skating, car-eoke, free food and drink. And fun times. What more could you want???

So the line-up is confirmed as: Coco Sumner, Paloma Faith, Mr Hudson and George Lamb. Not a bad line up at all. Needless to say a lot of the tickets have gone, but I am told some have been held back for lucky dips (you and a plus one), which will be drawn today at 5pm so do throw your name in the hat.

You can sign up here for a chance to get your hands on a pair of these fab tickets. Tickets are free but they are invite-only. Good luck!! I hope you get selected to join us at the event!!!
