‘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.’

This 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!
December is always busy at Dream HQ – This year our festive fleet of trikes, carts and Santa’s Grotto plus new Christmas games and props were all out and about the region trying to keep up with Santa’s busy schedule in the run up to the big day… Merry Christmas Everybody!
The Radisson Park Plaza, Leeds played host to a large corporate client holding a residential course over a number of weeks for some of their global employees.
To mark the completion of the milestone event and to thank employees for their participation, guests were wined and dined in style with a gourmet buffet.
For dessert, guests enjoyed our luxury Corporate Ice Cream Service served from one of our trikes several floors up overlooking the city skyline and Christmas lights.
New for Autumn: Our Carnival Birthday Party Tricycle (suitable for either ice cream or sweets). In addition to a personalised menu board we also include the name of the child on a number plate which in the above case was for Piper who was celebrating her 4th birthday.
Also new for the Halloween season, we have our own Children’s Spooky Tent complete with 8ft high Scary Tree plus our Halloween themed ‘I Scream’ Tricycle which not only looks great but with spooky flavours on board like Monster Mint & Vampire Vanilla it’s also great for cooling down kids from all that partying! See our Themed Parties page for further details.

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!
…here’s a flavour of some of the Corporate events we attended this month:
Following the success of our Corporate Ice Cream Service last year in supporting Suzuki at Silverstone and Millbrook we made another return visit this year to the iconic Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire as Suzuki exhibited their range of fleet cars at Company Car In Action – a flagship event in the fleet world calendar. We were not blessed with great weather this year but we were still able to maintain a high footfall to the Suzuki exhibition stand with our popular branded trike and branded ice creams over the two day event.
‘What a fantastic day we’ve had at Great Rail Journeys! The Ice Dream Team were wonderful, bringing ice cream heaven to 150 employees at our head office in York! From the branding support to the ice cream flavours – the whole experience was not only delicious, but so much fun! We absolutely loved it, Neil & Tracey were so polite, tidy, patient and enthusiastic – would recommend to anyone! Thank you so much, you’ve helped us celebrate a new product launch perfectly!’ Frances Geale Brand Manager – Great Rail Journeys

No, we weren’t auditioning! The Producer’s of the show contacted us to attend day 1 of the Manchester Auditions at The Lowry to serve ice cream to the Judges’ We had a great day soaking up the party atmosphere and all the excitement upon the BGT Judges’ arrival through to the live auditions. Our cameras unfortunately were not permitted with our back-stage passes, but hey! – we came, we saw, we scooped! and we can’t wait to watch series 13 scheduled to be broadcast on ITV in early April.
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 Events; Themed 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.
