THE BIG ICE SCREENING by Ben & Jerry

Movie, ice cream, and summer fans rejoice; Ben & Jerry’s is bringing the ice cream, the deckchairs, and the movies to Clapham Common this summer, with the arrival of The Big Ice Screening.

Summer and open-air cinema go together like two scoops in a cone. Ben & Jerry’s don’t do things by halves, so this is a series of outdoor movie screenings with a twist; the fun-loving ice cream company has teamed up with Firefly to bring a pedal powered movie extravaganza to Clapham!

 The three-day film fest kicks off on Friday 31st July and features alfresco films by day and night. Visitors can spoon in comfort, lounging on Ben & Jerry’s grassy sofas, deck chairs or cow print beanbags, whilst the entertainment around them is powered by pedals and the latest in environmentally friendly hybrid power.

There’ll be more free ice cream than you can shake your spoon at, and before chilling out with an epic selection of cult classic movies, fans can check out a stellar line-up of taste-tastic pop-up food and drink stalls – including Karma Cola and DogTown - and play nostalgic games such as ‘Giant Jenga’ and ‘Hook a Woody the Cow’ in the games zone.

This year’s summer screenings on Clapham Common promise to cater for every taste; from comedies to rom-coms and sci-fi:
 Friday 31st July, 6pm – Anchorman
 Friday 31st July, 8.20pm – Dirty Dancing
 Saturday 1st August, 1.30pm – Ghost Busters 
Saturday 1st August, 4.10pm – 500 Days of Summer

 Sunday 2nd August, 1pm – Step Brothers
 Sunday 2nd August, 5,35pm – Almost Famous 
Sunday 2nd August, 6.25pm – Little Miss Sunshine
 Each of the eight summer screenings will be powered with the help of fans, with special bicycles connected to a generator that produces energy to power the giant screen.

 In between spins, fans will get to find out more about Ben & Jerry’s Save Our Swirled climate justice campaign, calling on leaders of the developed nations and the United Nations to tackle climate change at the upcoming summit in Paris.

 Tickets for The Big Ice Screening cost £10 and include entry, the film, Ben & Jerry’s gift, choice of bean bag, grassy sofa or deckchair seating, and let’s not forget the *unlimited scoops of Ben & Jerry’s new Fairtrade Cookie Core range! The icing on the, er... ice cream cake is people without a ticket can still come and enjoy the free scoops, games zone and pop-up food stalls.

Ben & Jerry’s and The Marley Family celebrate Bob Marley’s iconic ‘Legend’ album

Ben & Jerry’s is on a music mission to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bob Marley’s Legend album with a new flavour ‘Satisfy my Bowl’, in honour of the music icon and to lend its voice to a vision for peace, love and social justice.

As Bob Marley’s Legend album celebrates its 30th anniversary, the socially conscious ice cream company wanted to pay tribute to a man who dedicated his life to bringing people together through music.
Satisfy My Bowl, which was named by a Ben & Jerry’s fan, is a concoction of banana ice cream beats, a mashup of caramel and cookie swirls, and a chorus of chocolatey peace signs.
What makes this partnership all the sweeter is that proceeds from the special edition flavour will enable the 1Love Foundation and Partners for Youth Empowerment to empower young people in Jamaica, and continue Bob Marley’s legacy of using music to change the world.

Ben & Jerry’s, has a long history of mixing music and ice cream, launching special editions that tie into the company social activist values, with flavours such as Glastonberry and Bohemian Raspberry hitting the high notes over the years. Satisfy My Bowl, named after the smash hit Satisfy My Soul, will stir up the freezer aisle as Bob Marley’s iconic Legend album celebrates its 30th anniversary
