Lowther’s Ice Cream Festival - Lowther Pavilion & Gardens

This July, our much-loved Ice Cream Festival returns for a weekend of summer fun! Taking place outdoors over a (hopefully!) sunny weekend, this free-to-enter event is packed with delicious treats and family-friendly entertainment. Perfectly timed with National Ice Cream Day, the festival brings together some of the region’s finest ice cream makers. Expect incredible flavours and sweet creations from vendors including Brooks Gelato, Truly Scrumptious, Mrs Dowsons, Lakes Ice Cream, Happy Time Bubble Tea & Ice Cream, Cakes & Shakes, Silly Ices, and The Milking Parlour. But there’s more than just ice cream to enjoy. Across the weekend, you’ll also find a fantastic selection of food vendors, the Creative Crafts Association marquee filled with handmade goods, a small children’s fun fair, and a range of activities to keep younger visitors entertained. Whether you join us on Saturday or Sunday, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
