  For its third year, The Ice Cream Project by Anya Hindmarch is back. If you're unfamiliar with this slightly mad endeavour, it's an ice cream shop that focuses on some very unusual flavours. As ever, they're well-known brands, but definitely not something you'll find in the average ice cream.

• Anya Hindmarch's Ice Cream Project is back - this year's flavours include Branston pickle and petit pois

  

  Last year, the launch of Anya Cafe's ice cream pop-up from Anya Hindmarch caused a bit of a stir. Rather than use plain old flavours like vanilla, they had mayonnaise, ketchup and even Lee and Perrins Worcestershire sauce.
