Ice cream van hire in Harlow

Harlow is a post-war new town designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, laid out as a series of neighbourhoods separated by green wedges of open land. It calls itself a sculpture town, with dozens of public artworks around its streets and the terraced Water Gardens beside the Civic Centre. Harlow Town Park, one of the largest urban parks in the country, runs through the middle. The town sits on the M11 and the West Anglia line into Liverpool Street, close to the Hertfordshire border.

Because Harlow was planned around neighbourhood centres, a lot of events happen close to home: children's parties, school fairs, and gatherings on the local greens in places like Old Harlow, Church Langley and Newhall. Employers on the business areas such as Templefields add staff days to the mix. Our vans run the freezers on batteries, so we serve with no engine running. That keeps fumes away from the queue and the noise down outside homes, playgrounds and office windows.
