The van, complete with eerie Stranger Things melodic chimes inspired by the soundtrack, features two sides: a 1980s ice-cream parlour in pastels and a dark side straight out of the famous Upside Down world.
Fans of the show also posed for eerie photographs with the monster, complete with props.
Scoops Ahoy will go on to visit over a dozen other areas around the UK.
Stranger Things returns on Netflix today, promising a third series of supernatural monsters and charming 80s-inspired nostalgia.
