The role is open to children aged 13 and under and all applications must be submitted by a parent, carer or guardian. To apply, simply email gina@williamsden.co.uk with your name, your child’s name, age, phone number and their idea for a new William’s Den ice cream flavour.

William’s Den was named East Yorkshire’s Visitor Attraction of the Year for the second year running in the Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards in 2023. The Den was also named ‘Environmentally Friendly Business of the Year’ at the Goole & Howdenshire Business Excellence Awards 2024.

The attraction was inspired by Tor and Christian’s son William who, when asked how he wanted to celebrate his fifth birthday, came up with the simple concept of wanting to take a few of his friends into the local woods to explore, build dens and cook food on a campfire.
