Aug 2020 : We’re Back In Business & Delivering Ice Dreams To Our Great NHS!

‘Thanks so much to The Ice Dream Experience and their amazing ice cream set up. The senior team at Oldham Care Organisation decided to provide our hard working and dedicated junior doctors a small token of thanks with a socially distanced ice cream party as they moved to pastures new! Needless to say the ice cream went down a treat, despite the rain and the gloom of a typically English summer’s day! It was the ice cream that put smiles on many faces and our thanks to Neil and his wonderful tasting treats. Much appreciated by all on the day.’

Feb 2020 : The Ice Dream Experience Serve BGT Judges’ (+Ant & Dec Too!)

BGT LogoThis month we made a return visit to The Lowry Theatre for Day 1 of the BGT Manchester Auditions again.

Our newly launched hand made vegan ice cream got a ‘Big Fat Yes!’ from the BGT Judges’. Not to miss out, Ant & Dec also got in on the act. Our tempting ‘Northern Delights’ made sure the Judges’ stopped by as they made their way into the theatre for filming. Fans of the show don’t have to wait too long as it’s due to air in April…so keep a look out folks!

Aug 2019 : Weddings at Coworth Park, Ascot & Wrest Hall, Silsoe

For Jaimini & Ravi’s wedding in the grounds of Wrest Hall, Silsoe, the weather was somewhat breezy and overcast; but having our ice cream tricycles set up inside the impressive orangery following their ceremony, their close to 200 wedding guests soon forgot about the gloomy clouds outside as they enjoyed such exotic ice cream flavours as Ferrero Rocher, Mango & Passion Fruit and Coconut.

Ice Dreams also came true for Sumit & Sonia’s wedding reception at Coworth Park, Ascot. We were tipped off  by the groom that the bride’s grandfather – Badgis, once owned an Ice Cream Truck. Sumit wanted to surprise Sonia with a fitting tribute to Badgis at their wedding by having his name on the ice cream menu board which we duly arranged. ‘Operation Scoop’ then went ahead and we set up our tricycles discreetly out of view and following the speeches the lovely surprise was sprung, much to the delight of the bride. – Job Done!

Jan 2019 : New Year, New Borough, New Website & Blog

Happy New Year Everyone! 

The Ice Dream Experience relocated last year a little closer to Manchester and set our new Dream HQ in Rossendale. This naturally meant that we had to be reassessed for our food hygiene by our new Borough Council and we are proud to report that we have maintained our Food Standard Agency 5 Rating, the highest rating that can be given under the national scheme.  

We also took some time out this month to update our website which if you are reading this, then you’ll be seeing the revised site which includes this new Blog and also 3 products & services pages: Seasonal EventsThemed Parties and Vintage China & Props Hire.  Please take a look as all pages now contain some new and exciting Experiences and also some unique party props for hire.
