Great British Summer Savings

To help celebrate the Great British Summer, VAT on family days out has been cut from 20% to 5% until 1 September – and we’re passing on every penny of savings to you. The saving will be automatically applied when you check out. And don’t forget, you get an extra 15% off tickets when you book in advance.

Ice Cream Splat Insurance

This site is taking part in our Ice Cream Splat Insurance. Between 13 August and 31 August 2026, if a child (or adult) drops their scooped Northern Bloc ice cream, all they need to do is return to the point of purchase with their now empty cone or cup and request a replacement. Check out the full terms and conditions here.

Go forth and lick in confidence.
