Ben & Jerry's said: "Free cone day is being celebrated around the world and we’ll be giving away free ice cream.
"Every time you enjoy a scoop of Ben & Jerry's, you're showing us how much you care.
"We love you too and Free Cone Day is our favourite way to show it!"
To get your hands on a free cone, all you need to do is rock up to a participating store from 12pm, and ask for a free ice cream.
No code or voucher is needed, and there is not limit to the amount of cones that will be given out throughout the day.
Customers are entitled to one scoop per cone, and can choose any of the brand's popular flavours, such as Cookie Dough, Phish Food, or Chocolate Fudge Brownie.
