Ice Cream in Dean's Park
Published Wednesday 18th July 2007 by Alix Peacock
You can now enjoy an ice cream in Dean's Park! A new refreshments stand has been opened by The Dean and Chapter of York in Dean’s Park – the gardens which surround the North West side of the Minster. The new refreshments stand will serve Fair-trade tea and coffee and luxury ice cream throughout the summer months seven days a week.
Many people enjoy Dean’s Park all the year round. Although it is a private park, cared for by the Dean and Chapter, it is one of York’s best-loved places, in the shadow of the Minster, and home to the Cathedral Library. Numerous events, from performances of the Mystery Plays, to dramatic productions by students, take place there. And it is just around the corner from many of York’s city-centre attractions. The stand is run by Five Star Caterers who also provide refreshments at the Tower of London, Battersea Park, Crystal Palace and many other attractions across the UK.
The opening hours of the refreshments stand will be Monday to Friday – 10.00am until late. Saturday and Sunday – 9.00 am until late.
