AN ice cream festival is set to take place in Essex for the first time.
The Father's Day Ice Cream Festival runs over the weekend of June 20 and June 21 at Marsh Farm Animal Adventure Park in South Woodham Ferrers.
The festival is in partnership with Rossi Ice Cream Company, an Essex-based company which was formed in Southend in 1931.
A wide range of ice cream flavours from Rossi Ice Cream will be available, along with activities and interactive experiences for all ages throughout Marsh Farm.
Stephen Miller, parks director at Marsh Farm, said: "Dads don't want any more socks or bottle openers for Father's Day.
"Instead, we're offering a brand-new family festival experience that will be truly unforgettable.
"This two-day festival is bursting with a mouth-watering line-up of ice cream.
"While the kids dive into fun games and meet their favourite walkabout characters, mums, dads, and grandparents can relax with a refreshing treat."
Rossi Ice Cream, a nearly century-old brand, is known for its traditional Italian-style ice cream and has been a part of many seaside memories for generations.
The festival will features a mix of classic favourites and unique flavour creations.
