Ice cream van hire for sports days

Sports day is hot, loud and long. Children have been sitting on the grass in their house colours since the morning, parents have lined the track with picnic blankets, and teachers are running a timetable of sprints, sack races and relays. By the end, everyone wants something cold. An ice cream van at the edge of the field is the easiest way to finish the day on a high.

Because our vans serve on battery power, we can park close to the field without exhaust drifting over children and spectators. There is no engine running while we serve through the races and no noise to talk over when the results are read out. We hold £5M public liability insurance and a 5 Star Food Hygiene rating, and we send the school our risk assessment before we arrive.

Schools approach the van in two ways. Some host it as a reward and serve every pupil, often with prepaid tokens handed out in class. Others open it to families watching, who pay at the van. Many do both: pupils served first after the last race, then parents and siblings afterwards. Tell us which approach you prefer and we will plan stock, timing and the queue around it.
