A new ice cream shop is opening in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, bringing sweet, cold and creamy treats to Stevenson Square in time for summer.

Called Sweet!, it is set to open in the city centre later this month serving up ice creams, milkshakes, slushies and more – with a huge giveaway planned for its launch date.

Brought to Manchester by the team behind The Quarter House, Hula and The Fitzgerald, the new dessert shop will take over a suntrap patch next door to their popular Stevenson Square boozers.

Serving up locally-sourced ice creams and other goodies to hungry Mancs this summer, those heading down can expect to find fresh dairy-farmed ice cream straight from a farm on the Ribble Valley.

Based in Blackburn, Lancashire, Mrs Dowson’s award-winning ice cream comes from a third-generation dairy farm and boasts ‘honest, quality ingredients’.

The all-natural, farm-made dairy ice cream uses full cream milk fresh from their dairy herd and local ingredients. 

As well as serving up Mrs Downson’s popular classic flavours like strawberry, mint choc chip, chocolate and vanilla, ice cream fans can expect to find some surprises alongside vegan-friendly sorbets for those of the plant-powered persuasion.

There will be seating stretching out into the square for those wanting to enjoy an al fresco treat on site, as well as tubs and cones for those who’d prefer to take their ice cream away.

With an opening date set for Wednesday 26 April, from 12pm Sweet! will be giving away 200 free ice creams to the first customers through its door.

Located at 9 Stevenson Square, next door to The Quarter House, make sure to get down from 12pm if you want to get your hands on a freebie.
