CHRISTMAS at The Ice Cream Farm is set to be a special one this year, with a host of family-friendly events to make the most of the festive season.
Boasting new flavours in the world’s largest ice cream shop; free entry to Europe’s biggest indoor sand and water play area, and an inclusive Santa’s Grotto and Elve’s Workshop, the Tattenhall attraction is pulling out all the stops.
The wintry fun begins on November 4, and from then until Valentines Day, 2025, all visitors who buy an entry ticket to the Ice Cream Farm can access Honeycomb Canyon’s interactive sand pits and water play equipment for free!
In The Parlour, a new menu of Cheshire Farm Ice Cream flavours includes returning festive favourites Mince Pie, Christmas Pudding and Chocolate Orange, alongside bespoke Brownie and Biscoffi.
Owner and CEO Jonathan Fell said: “Winter at The Ice Cream Farm will focus on inclusivity for families, in terms of cost, accessibility and age range.
“We’re introducing free entry to Honeycomb Canyon to make a visit more affordable.
“We’ve also got lower priced events for visitors on a budget, like Storytime with Santa, alongside our traditional, annual Christmas Grotto and Elves’ Workshop.
“For Special Educational Needs (SEN) children there is a dedicated Santa’s Grotto festive experience for families requiring a quieter space.
“And not forgetting The Ice Cream Drive In next door; a chilled setting to stop by for a treat with teens, or when older kids are home for the Christmas holidays.”
