Being able to enjoy breakfast with Santa has become a really popular festive treat, so much so I decided it was worth creating a separate list of all the places you can enjoy breakfast with Father Christmas in Manchester and the surrounding area.
Breakfast with Santa events tend to book up quickly so it pays to plan ahead!
Check out these handy links to plan your next adventure …
The events listed below took place last year but have not yet been confirmed for 2026 – these will be updated as soon as information becomes available.
Where to have breakfast with Santa in Manchester this year:
Breakfast with Santa at Housing Units – weekends from Saturday 22nd November then daily from Saturday 13th December to Tuesday 23rd December 2025 | Limited spaces remain
The popular Breakfast with Santa event returns to Housing Units this Christmas, taking place in the Wickentree Restaurant for the perfect festive family treat. To get everyone into the festive spirit, there will be live piano music and a singalong for Santa’s arrival. The whole family will enjoy a delicious set breakfast (including Bucks Fizz for the grown ups!) as well as the opportunity to meet Santa, receive an age-appropriate gift and take photos.
Tickets for Breakfast with Santa at Housing Units are priced at £31.95 per child and £31.95 per adult which has increased again this year! Tickets are on sale now and I recommend you are quick on this one as demand always high for this one and it typically sells out well in advance.

Santa has been joining families for breakfast at The Plaza Café in Stockport Plaza since 1944, and it’s become something of a local tradition. Kids can enjoy a delicious breakfast scrumptious pastries, sugar waffles, donuts and chocolate dip, all served with lashings of cordial while they wait for Santa and his little helpers to arrive. (Grown ups will enjoy a slightly less fancy but equally delicious bacon barm with unlimited tea and coffee). After breakfast, little ones can visit Santa’s Grotto and receive a special gift from Father Christmas himself.
