Please note, drinks are not included, but the bar and cafe will be open, so plenty of hot and cold drinks are available.

How It Works:

Following feedback last year, we’re running the event differently for 2024. There are 3 time slots available. The time slots are:

• 12-1:30pm
• 1:30-3pm
• 3-4:30pm

When you book, you will choose a time slot, and should arrive at the session start time. When you arrive, you’ll be seated and provided with your breakfasts. (Drinks are not included in the ticket price, but can be purchased in the bar or cafe).

After you’ve eaten, you’ll have the chance to get your photos with Santa, and children will receive their gift. You’ll then have the opportunity to enjoy further drinks and snacks in the cafe or our outdoor seating area if you’d like to stay longer.

We have plenty of free parking available, and we are located right next door to Queens Road Metrolink Station, if you don’t want to drive.

Our Breakfast With Santa sessions sold out before December last year, so be sure to book your slots ASAP, to avoid disappointment!
