Cream Tea Chaos! Devon vs Cornwall Flags Fly After Viral Glastonbury Moment

It’s not every day a flag sparks a national debate… but this weekend, that’s exactly what happened!

At Impact Flags, our little award-winning flag business in Plymouth, Devon, has been buzzing after one of our most popular designs—the Devon Cream First flag—was spotted proudly waving in the crowd at Glastonbury Festival.

Even more exciting? It was picked up by none other than BBC Devon, who shared it on their social channels, igniting a storm of comments and laughs from across the UK. Cream first or jam first? The country had opinions—and lots of them.

Orders Went Mad for Our Devon Cream First Flag

Within hours, our inbox lit up and the printers were on full speed. Orders for the Devon Cream First flag started flying in from all over the UK, with proud Devonians claiming their side in the tastiest rivalry of them all.

We thought the fun might settle down by morning—but then, the Cornish brigade responded in style.

Now It’s Cornwall’s Turn – Cornish Jam First Goes Viral

Today, the story took another twist when Cornish News picked up the flag drama—and just like that, our Cornish Jam First flag started flying out the door! It’s safe to say both sides of the cream tea divide are being represented loud and proud, and we couldn’t be happier.
