Our pink-and-green Paolo & Son vintage van turns heads — the photo-friendly centrepiece guests talk about long after the event.

Weddings, birthdays, christenings, school days, fêtes, corporate events and private parties — we tailor the service to your day.

Frequently asked

Common questions

Do you cover Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes — Ashton-under-Lyne is well within our service area. Whippylicious is a family-run ice cream van based nearby in Audenshaw, Greater Manchester, and we regularly travel across Ashton-under-Lyne and the surrounding areas for weddings, parties and events.
How much does ice cream van hire in Ashton-under-Lyne cost?
Every booking is quoted individually — typically from around £350 depending on guest numbers, service length and the date. A 20% non-refundable deposit confirms the booking.
How far in advance should we book?
For peak summer dates — especially Saturdays — 2–3 months ahead is ideal. We can sometimes cover shorter-notice events, so it is always worth a call to check availability.
What space do you need on the day?
A level, van-accessible parking space of roughly 4×6 metres is enough. We arrive 30–45 minutes before service to set up and are fully self-contained — no power needed.
