A huge observation wheel is being erected in Nottingham city centre as part of this year's Christmas Fair.
Pictures have shown a large crane in action on Old Market Square, Nottingham which will be putting up the towering wheel.
The giant observation wheel will whisk visitors 33m up into the air, with stunning views over the city’s rooftops.
The attraction will be part of the scaled-back Winter Wonderland and festive market that will begin as the lights across the city are switched on and celebrations begin on Monday, November 15 and will run until Friday, December 31.
Last year's market was axed after just one day amid fears of crowds rammed together with a lack of social distancing, despite being under Tier 3 restrictions at the time.
Organisers said they have revised the usual arrangements to ensure people can enjoy themselves safely
The new-look event follows advice from public health and the Safety Advisory Group for Events which will see attractions spread out across the city rather than all being sited in Old Market Square.
The city’s traditional 60ft high Norway Spruce Christmas tree, lit with 4,000 twinkling bulbs, will once again take centre stage in front of the Council House, which will be adorned by a snowflake-inspired lighting display.
A new Après Ski themed pop-up bar will also be located on Old Market Square, while the traditional Helter Skelter bar will return to Smithy Row offering visitors a steaming mug of Glühwein as riders slide down the traditional fairground favourite from above.
Traditional chalet style market stalls will be trading along Long Row and Smithy Row offering a chance for some alternative Christmas shopping with a choice of gifts, crafts, and speciality food.
