Ice Cream Season
KENT’ S COOLEST ICE CREAM SPOTS
Through the centuries, ice cream has continued to evolve since first arriving on English soil in the 17th century when it was considered an indulgence reserved exclusively for the royals. From Victorian‘ penny licks’ to edible cones and the popularised ice cream vans, the dessert continues to adapt.
Today, ice cream has become a beloved staple of summer. With growing experimentation and artisan specialities taking over across the country, the sweet treat has continued to transform into a cultural favourite, and there is never a more fitting time to indulge than during July, National Ice Cream Month.
