Ben n Jerrys Ice Cream

With three new flavours to choose from – Karamel Sutra, Dough-ble Whammy and Berry White - and all fully Fairtrade, the Core is two euphoric flavours packed into one tub, with a core of sauce running through the middle.


Can you hear that, flavour fans? It’s the sound of another dairyingly delicious Free Cone Day hoofing its way to a Scoop Shop near you. That’s right! On Tuesday 3rd April, Ben & Jerry’s will celebrate all things ice cream by hosting its annual Free Cone Day – and you’re invited!

We’ll be throwing open the doors of selected Scoops Shops across the land inviting flavour fans to try a free scoop of our tried and tested favourites, as well as some new additions to the euphoric flavour freezer.

This year, why not try the taste-tastic ‘Apple-y Ever After’ and show your support for marriage equality in the UK? And if you’re at the front of the queue you may want to linger, as every hour on the hour we’ll be giving away a Core Sundae to whoever is first in line. 

With three new flavours to choose from – Karamel Sutra, Dough-ble Whammy and Berry White - and all fully Fairtrade, the Core is two euphoric flavours packed into one tub, with a core of sauce running through the middle. Deliciously decadent!  

Free Cone Day was started to say “thanks” to the community that supported their business.  While a lot has changed in the last 34 years, Ben & Jerry’s has never failed to hold the annual giveaway to throw open the doors and continue the tradition. The day is about rewarding fans for their loyalty, and every site will be collecting for a different charity. Can’t say fairer than that!
