Ben and Jerry’s Double Scoop Sundae 2011

Not only do Ben and Jerry’s give us those bloomin beauuuutilicious ice creams in a thousand billion different flavours BUT… this July they are delivering a ‘double-scoop’ of festival loveliness in Manchester and London on the 23rd and 24th of July!!
I SCREAM!!!!!
I really do scream, the bands playing are a few of my favourite too!!!!

Ben and Jerry’s words: ‘Mooch with us in London AND Manchester!

It’s official, Sundae 2011 will be twice as FAIR as last year with the addition of a second venue, Manchester’ s fabulous Heaton Park. Dubbed “Double Scoop Sundae”, acts and other fun will be shared between London and Manchester over two fantastic days, 23rd and 24th of July.

For a 7th consecutive year, London’s Clapham Common will play host to Ben & Jerry’s lovers in the south. Whichever you choose, expect one hell of a weekend and the same fantastic line-up in both’

How flipping brilliant eh?! I’ll be spoon in hand ready to try out some of the free… YES, FREE, ice cream on offer! So, if free ice cream don’t tempt you (if you are crazy that is) then I am sure this lovely little line up may get your taste buds going!
Bear in mind the days are alternate so I will bring you, in my ice cream van playing the football chant cos I can, the Manchester line-up and you can swap the days over for London?! You get me right? If not you can check out the webbersite here: http://www.benjerry.co.uk/sundae/line-up/

What the double vanilla and chocolate deuce is going on with these tasty little treats?? All we need is a flake!!
I really cannot wait to see ALL the bands including the ‘Be Herd’ winners; who won their places on stage and left runners up drooling over their spot beside a great line-up!

Like I said, Ben and Jerry’s are giving away free ice cream at the festivals too so if it does actually get, and stay, hot and sunny in Manchester for ONE festival… then we will all be cooled down. Check out the variety of flavours on offer here: http://www.benjerry.co.uk/sundae/flavours/

Ben and Jerry’s, the cutie pies that they are, are also supporting FAIRTRADE at the festival so when you get your ticket, which you should hurry for, then just look out for the FAIRTRADE labels on yer free nom noms!

London has already SOLD OUT of their Saturday tickets (line-up same as Manchester Sunday) so I highly recommend you get your tickets super fastly PRONTO so as not to miss out on ALL the yummy goodness there is!

I for one will be there with friends and Our Jan (me mum) to have my taste buds, ears and even my eyes satisfied with what is promised to be a yum-tastic weekend! Tis even ones birthday on Sunday too 😀 what better way to spend it eh?! Woooooo!

Tickets per day are only ONLY £17 and
Children 5 & under go free!
