How you can have breakfast with Santa at the Spinnaker Tower this Christmas

Fortunately for families in Portsmouth, the Spinnaker Tower has announced its festive events will be returning this year – including a visit from Father Christmas.

Guests will be able to join Santa and his elves for a continental-style breakfast in the Waterfront Cafe, and enjoy a morning of fun activities.

Children can write letters to Santa, sharing their Christmas present wish-list, before having a chat with the main man himself.

As part of the package families can also enjoy the amazing panoramic views and glass Sky Walk in the tower through free admission tickets.

Prices for the Breakfast with Santa event are £20 for children aged two to 15, £8.50 for under 2s and £17 per adult.

The event starts on December 5 and will be running on certain mornings up to Christmas Eve. For the exact dates and information on how to book tickets visit the Spinnaker Tower website.

There is an extra treat in store for adults too with the return of the Spinnaker’s Festive High Tea.

You can enjoy a selection of sandwiches 10-5 metres up into the sky in the Clouds Cafe, and feast on an assortment of festive treats including mince pies, plus fruit scones with jam and clotted cream.

The High Tea experience costs £60 for two people – including general admission tickets for the tower – and if you want to push the boat out further you can upgrade with a bottle of prosecco for £28, or champagne for £80.

The Festive High Tea is available from December 1 to 31 excluding Christmas Day.
