Mouth-watering attraction at Littlehampton Harbour Park

The new Wonder Works ice cream parlour will be taking a leaf out of the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, offering an eclectic mix of flavours – from candyfloss and bubblegum, as well as traditional favourites.

All those visiting the colourful parlour, in Arun Parade, will not only have a chance to try some of its unique flavours, they can also customise their own, perfect – if at times slightly wacky – ice cream sundae toppings.

Mayor Alan Gammon helped launch the attraction, alongside deputy mayor Emma Neno’s ice cream-loving children, Charlie, six, and Sophie, five.

Mr Gammon, who admits his favourite flavours of vanilla and chocolate chip mint are less exciting than the more eccentric ones, said: “It’s brilliant. It’s obviously been devised with young people’s tastes in mind. I’m quite excited about it.”
