Bears Ice Cream Imaginarium joins Macknade’s Food Village

Visitors can enjoy chef-made scoops crafted with Kentish milk and inspired by unexpected seasonal flavour ideas while exploring one of Kent’s best-loved food destinations.

Founded in Whitstable by husband-and-wife team Phil Harrison and Vera Thordardottir, Bears has built a reputation for inventive flavour combinations and small-batch ice cream made with fresh local ingredients wherever possible. This year also marks 10 years of Bears, celebrating a decade of pushing flavour boundaries and championing Kent produce.

Alongside scoops at Scooptopia, Bears ice cream sandwiches and tubs are also available on Macknade’s shelves, perfect for taking a little taste of Whitstable home with you after your visit. Whether you stop for a scoop with friends, bring the family along, or pick up something sweet to share at home, it is all about enjoying great ice cream together.
