Father Sven Beaufort loves pushing his pink and blue ice cream cart all over Sylvania that’s because everyone is always so delighted when he shows up. The moment the children hear the melodic chimes of ‘Greensleeves’ they all rush out to buy one of his lollies or ice cream cones. Sven always makes sure there is one each left for him and his children!

Mother Vania Beaufort makes her husband’s lollies and ice creams using only the very best ingredients so her ice creams are always deliciously creamy and her lollies delightfully fruity. Strawberry, chocolate and vanilla seem to be the most popular flavours in Sylvania. Her favourite is glacier mint and has been ever since she was a small child.

Brother Valentine Beaufort might hate ice cream but he does love ice skating. He goes to the Sylvanian ice rink every weekend with his sister Verity and they glide together around the ice pretending to be Torvill and Dean

.

Sister Verity Beaufort wants to be a famous figure skater just like her brother. She would love to be in the Winter Olympics and win a gold medal for Sylvania. She practises far more than Valentine, but she just can’t master a proper spin without getting dizzy and sometimes falling over.

Twin sister Victoria andtwin brother Victor Beaufort are quite a handful. They never go where they are supposed to, and they are always fighting with each other. It is only play fighting though, as they would be quite lost without each other

Uncle & Auntie Vincent & Violet Beaufort. They own Sylvania's Ice-Cream Van and work all through the spring and summer months driving around Sylvania selling tasty treats from their colourful van.

Polestar exchange twins Valetine and Verity, are both very shy, but they have settled in nicely at ST. John's School where they are on a pupil exchange year. They're finding Sylvanian's warm welcome and all their new friend a great joy, but the weather and long sunny days are a little strange to them.
