Temperatures are rising - and so are ice cream prices
Ice cream prices are rising alongside temperatures, particularly in north Wales where Porthmadog has the highest average cost at £3.85 per scoop. Families visiting the Welsh coast may face some of the steepest prices in the UK for ice cream, with other towns like Aberystwyth and Tenby also ranking high. The increase in prices is attributed to rising production costs and supply chain disruptions due to various factors, including the war in Iran.
