IKEA Reading will be hosting a Winter Festival, the brand has announced.

Film viewings, 95p kids meals and a visit from Santa and his elves will be in-store until December 24.

A mini-grotto-workshop will let children become elves themselves, learning how to make their own tree decoration to take home for Christmas.

Store Manager at IKEA Reading, Kim Chin-Sung, said: “The lead up to the festive season is full of excitement for everyone – especially little ones.
