The Iron Throne set piece from hit Sky Atlantic TV series Game of Thrones arrived in Ipswich this afternoon, ready for budding Kings and Queens to have their pictures taken on the iconic prop.
The Donalds Volvo dealership in West End Road, Ipswich is hosting the set piece as part of the car manufacturer’s sponsorship with Sky Atlantic, with the Ipswich dealership landing the prop for an exclusive one-off weekend.
On Saturday and Sunday, members of the public are being invited to come down in their best fancy dress and have their picture taken for free, as well as taking part in competitions and a quest in the showroom.
Benjamin Grant, group marketing manager, said: “I was going back through Volvo’s Facebook feed and they did a pop-up shop at a Volvo event in Manchester with the throne.
“I just wrote to them asking if it was available for dealerships, and it was available for that weekend.
“It’s quite exclusive for a dealership to have it so it’s very exciting.”
The showroom will be open from 9am-6pm on Saturday and 11am-4pm on Sunday.
