Win a year's worth of ice cream!

Win a year's worth of ice cream!

We’ve teamed up with Mackie's of Scotland to bring one lucky member of staff and one student the chance to win a year’s worth of ice cream.

And while it’s hard to imagine anything better than that, thanks to those brilliant people at Mackie’s, even if you miss out on the big prize, you are still a winner.

Every member of staff or student who visits Mackie’s 19.2 ice cream parlour in Aberdeen city centre between 27 April and 11 May and shows their staff/student ID badge will get a whopping 30% discount on the full range of over 20 flavours of ice cream - whether it comes in cones, tubs, sundaes, milkshakes, crepes or waffles.

Mackie’s offers a continually varying array of hand-made flavours, many unique to the parlour - like their tribute to the north-east ‘Buttery and Jam’ – alongside classic Mackie’s favourites like Traditional or Honeycomb. There are a huge number of delicious combinations of ice cream and toppings to choose from so get yourself down there and start trying them out!

HOW TO PLAY

No puzzles or brain teasers involved in this one. All you have to do is tell us what your favourite flavour of ice cream is – either real or imaginary, if no-one’s come up with it yet!

Everyone who submits an entry will go into the draw. Unlike some of our other competitions however, this time you can only enter once. See Terms & Conditions below for full details. 

And if you’d like to find out more, you can also choose to sign up to join the Friends of Mackie’s, a club for real ice cream and chocolate lovers. You will receive news direct from Mackie's farm, be the first to know about new flavours or offers and have the chance to enter exclusive Friends of Mackie’s competitions. And as if that's not sweet enough, each month they also send a Mackie's goodie bag (including a tote bag, three ice cream vouchers and five chocolate bars) to five of their club members!

Good luck!
