Good news, The Drive In is open Monday to Sunday 11am - 6pm.

The Ice Cream Farm is all about creating incredible, unique,
memorable experiences. We want visitors to leave us with smiles on their faces and memories they can take home, share and keep forever.
And that’s where you come in.

Our purpose...

‘To inspire happiness and
create memories that last a lifetime’

We are looking for people to help us bring our purpose to life.
But first a little more about us and how it would feel to work here.

Who we are:

The Ice Cream Farm has three core businesses:

The Ice Cream Farm is a fun and friendly family attraction, located in Tattenhall, near Chester.

With a range of indoor and outdoor activities for all the family including Strawberry Falls Adventure Golf, Daisy’s Garden, the Silvercone racing track and Honeycomb Canyon – Europe’s largest sand and water play – there is lots of fun to be had for all the family. Plus the world’s largest ice cream parlour with over 50 flavours to choose from. What’s not to love! That is what makes The Ice Cream Farm one of the most visited attractions of its kind in the North West and the UK. We are always on the look out for Play Hosts, Food & Beverage Hosts and Team Leaders.

Why working for us is great…

To have so much fun, it doesn’t feel like work

We’re not like other visitor attractions. We want to go above and beyond and for it to feel different for our visitors and that’s where you come in. We want you to bring energy, a big smile, a helping hand – the drive to enthuse, excite and entertain our little visitors (and big ones too!). Don’t come to work each day, come to have fun!

Be a part of
the family

In the same way every family has its different characters and roles, we want you to be yourself. Bring your unique qualities to work every day and shine. You might be ‘The one who can make anyone laugh’ or ‘The one who always thinks of others’ or even ‘The one who can make crazy balloon animals (to entertain people in the parlour queue!)’ There is no end to your individual qualities and talents and there’s room for everyone. Because we are in this together.

Take pride in everything you do

We’re all about creating magical, unforgettable visitor experiences. We need you to be brilliant at the basics and constantly be one step ahead of what each visitor thinks, feels and needs so you can deliver the unexpected magic moments. We expect you to attend to the little details that can transform a good day into a truly memorable experience.

If that has not persuaded you, how about these?

Our People

Our people make our culture what it is and we will continue to listen to our employees and invest in their experience so they get the most out of working here.

For our colleagues, whether they are staying for a summer job or making a career here, we’re completely committed to supporting them in the best way we can.

We give our colleagues opportunities to grow and to build their confidence. We want to help everyone be the best they can be, so they can go on and make a positive difference to someone else’s day. Because when our people are happy, feel valued and are having fun, our customers feel exactly the same! And we recognise a job well done and reward great role modelsand shining stars. This is why many of our seasonal staff come back again and again to support and help us – they love working here as much the permanent team do. Many have worked part-time whilst they study and some have gone on to start their career with us.
