Christmas at The Ice Cream Farm

Cheshire’s award-winning family attraction The Ice Cream Farm is delighted to announce its upcoming programme of Christmas events for November and December 2021.

The Tattenhall-based visitor attraction has scheduled numerous festive activities for all ages in a bid to give families a “Christmas to remember”.  

“Our mission at The Ice Cream Farm is to inspire happiness and create memories that last a lifetime,” said General Manager Katie Lewis. “With Christmas 2020 being so hard for so many, we thought this year we’d go all out with a programme of events that, we hope, mean there’s something here for everyone to enjoy with those they love.” 

The Ice Cream Farm’s Drive In will be open for its first winter, meaning visitors who want to relax in their vehicle with a tasty hot pudding or scoop of Mince Pie flavour ice cream can do so without having to go into the Farm itself. 

“We’re hoping that The Ice Cream Drive In will be a welcome alternative for visitors who don’t have the time, or want, to come in for a play, but would still like to enjoy a sweet treat. It also gives an alternative for those feeling cautious around Covid-19 to have a special experience from the comfort of their car,” added Katie.  

As ever the Farm has looked to make its events as inclusive as possible with a Christmas SEN Session on Sunday 5^th December at Santa’s Grotto and Workshop. In support of local businesses there will also be a Christmas Market with stands from Cheshire makers and independents selling everything from silver jewellery to homemade curry pastes.  

“The Ice Cream Farm is and always has been a family business and we hope that our visitors see the importance we attribute to ‘family’ and community when they join us this Christmas,” said Katie.
