If you have a taste for a freebie, you might want to make a note in your diary for Monday, April 3. For that's the day when upmarket ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's are giving away as much free ice cream as you can eat - but there's a catch.
The USA company has brought back Free Cone Day after putting it on ice in 2020, and cinema chains such as Empire Vue and Odeon are taking part. However, in the North East, the only participating cinema is Empire Sunderland, where you can fill your boots from noon until 8pm on April 3.
The event just happens to coincide with the first day of the Easter school holidays, so if you want to do your bit to help Ben & Jerry hit their goal of serving over one million scoops, head off to the Empire Cinema in Lambton Street, Sunderland, and join the queue.
