IKEA has brought back its Breakfast and Supper with Santa events. And, once again, they are completely free! Not surprisingly, these festive treats are proving super popular with families.
As a result, all of the original dates posted by the IKEA Wednesbury store were snapped up quickly. So, the kind-hearted staff have decided to add additional dates so that more children can see Father Christmas for free.
There are 260 tickets up for grabs and they will be available from tomorrow morning (Saturday November 11). You have to be an IKEA Family member to qualify for a free ticket so it is worth registering ahead to avoid disappointment.

An IKEA spokesman posted on its website: "Enjoy breakfast with Santa and his elves in our restaurant this December. It’s a great chance for children to get up close to the big man before his duties take him back to the North Pole. We’ll also have crafting activities and character appearances to keep the little ones entertained.
"Each child will receive a free breakfast, in addition to a small gift from Santa. Breakfast and drinks will be available for purchase until 11am, starting from just £2.50. Please note this event is very likely to sell out, if you are no longer able to attend please cancel your space to allow for someone from the waiting list to book on. If you require a booking for more than 5 people, please make 2 separate bookings."
All the tickets for events happening between December 2 to 16 have been booked up but IKEA Wednesbury has added additional slots on Sunday November 26 from 9 to 11.30am and Thursday December 7 from 5 to 7.30pm.
There are 130 spots remaining for each day. Bookings will open on Saturday November 11 so you’ll need to book quickly to secure your slot. This is only available to IKEA Family members so it’s important you sign up to this free scheme before trying to book. Find out more and book your free tickets here
