Brunch with Santa

Brunch with Santa is running at the Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Brindleyplace on Saturday 5 and Saturday 12 December, from 11am to 1pm both days. It's a festive family morning built around a brunch buffet of hot and cold breakfast options, an egg station and unlimited teas and coffees. While the adults sort themselves out, the kids get to make their own fresh waffles with festive sprinkles. The whole thing is rounded off with a visit from Santa himself, who leaves a gift for the children.

The Hilton Garden Inn is a stylish canal-side venue in Brindleyplace, close to the ICC, Arena Birmingham and the city's main transport links. It's also known for its flexible event spaces for Christmas parties and contemporary bedrooms, so it's a spot that works as well for a family morning as it does for a proper night out. If you're coming from across town, you're well-placed for the city's main transport links.

It's a two-hour window, so you've got plenty of time to eat and let the kids get stuck into the waffles before Santa makes his appearance. If you're planning it for a group, the family ticket is the best way to go. It's £19.95 per adult, £9.95 per child aged 3-12, and children under 3 eat free. The family ticket is £55 for two adults and two children aged 3-12, which works out a bit cheaper than paying individually. Both dates run from 11am to 1pm at the Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Brindleyplace, 1 Brunswick Square, Birmingham B1 2HW.
