Free ice cream at Ben and Jerry’s Free Cone Day

by Ricky Willis · updated 8 April 2024

Ben and Jerry’s Free Cone Day is an annual celebration of ice cream! You can get endless supplies of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream for just standing in a queue. Will you be there?

Free ice cream

If you like free ice cream, you might want to carry on reading.

Actually, let me rephrase that; if you like free Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, which you can eat without paying for it, then you have to carry on reading.

Free Cone Day is a yearly worldwide event held on one day between the end of March and the beginning of May. The event sees the ice cream brand Ben and Jerry’s hand out free cream cups and cones to anyone who wants to queue.

They’ve been running the event since 1979 – which is a lot of free ice cream!

Each year over one million free cones are given away, which caused the phrase “Be One In A Million” to be coined by Ben and Jerry’s.

This year Free Cone Day is being held in April, and it will run from 12 pm to 8 pm.

If it’s the same as in previous years (and I’m guessing it will be), the free cones will only be available at participating cinema scoop shops across the country.

How do I get free Ben and Jerry’s ice cream?

Ben and Jerry’s will give away one free scoop of their deliciously tasting ice cream or frozen yoghurt to every person who queues at any participating Free Cone Day Scoop Shop.

If you are partial to the odd scoop of ice cream then put this day in your calendar – now!

Oh, just one more thing.

Once you’ve queued in line and managed to get your free cone, feel free to rejoin the queue again, and again, and again, for as much free Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, as you can handle! 

Are you going to grab some ice cream on Free Cone Day this year?
