You can take your little ones for a free breakfast at your local Morrisons cafe while schools are out this spring.
Less than a month after the supermarket chain announced that it would be closing 52 of its cafes nationwide, Morrisons has now partnered with leading cereal manufacturer Kellogg’s to launch ‘breakfast clubs’ over the spring school holidays.
This means that you can get free bowls of Kellogg’s cereal at all of Morrisons 396 cafes across the country.
Both kids and adults can choose from a selection of Kellogg’s favourites, such as the popular Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, or Coco Pops, and then top them off with their preference of dairy or non-dairy milk.
You’ll also be able to pick up a free portion of fruit in addition to your cereal when you go to the counter and order a ‘Kellogg’s Breakfast’ in any of Morrisons’ cafes.

Now running right through to Sunday 27 April, while stocks last, Morrisons says its ‘Kellogg’s Breakfasts’ serve as a cost-effective way to keep little ones fed during the school holidays, when many parents and carers will likely be feeling the squeeze with the absence of school breakfast clubs.
In fact, new research commissioned by Kellogg’s found that almost two thirds (61%) of UK parents admit their food budget is stretched during the school holidays.
“The breakfast club partnership with Kellogg’s has proved incredibly popular with our customers and we are delighted to bring it back for a third year,” explained Chris Strong, who is the Morrisons Café Senior Buying Manager.
“We have helped many families across the UK since it was first introduced and will continue to do so during schools’ Easter holidays.
On top of the ‘Kellogg’s Breakfast’ deal, customers can also claim a free kids’ meal at all Morrisons cafes with any adult main meal costing more £5.
This offer is available every day, seven days a week, for any child aged under 16 in Morrisons cafes nationwide.
A special Pride activation featuring internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Whatshisname has popped up in Leeds.
Marking 20 years of Leeds Pride and 10 years of Victoria Leeds, the exhibition called ‘Two milestones, One Pop of Pride’ is bringing a playful public art experience to the city.
The exhibition, curated by Castle Fine Art located in the Victoria Quarter, features a collection of artworks and oversized sculptures by the artist, whose distinctive creations have earned a global following.
The striking centrepiece of the activation is two of Whatshisname's iconic POPek Balloon Dog sculptures, one is positioned on the central mosaic in Victoria Quarter and the other outside John Lewis in Victoria Gate.

Victoria Leeds centre director, Jo Coburn, said: "This year presents a unique opportunity to celebrate two important milestones for Leeds. As we mark 10 years of Victoria Leeds and 20 years of Leeds Pride, we wanted to create something memorable that reflects the city's creativity, inclusivity and vibrant cultural scene. Whatshisname's work perfectly captures a sense of joy, individuality and self-expression, making it an ideal way to celebrate Pride with our visitors."
Artist, Whatshisname, said: "Bringing the POPek balloon dogs to such a vibrant and culturally rich city as Leeds is an absolute thrill for me. It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since these playful, cheeky characters first came to life. Over the years, they’ve travelled the world, sparking smiles wherever they go.
“I can’t wait for the people of Leeds to interact with them, feel that sense of nostalgia and humour, and join us in the Victoria Leeds and Leeds Pride celebrations!"
The Whatshisname exhibition will be on display at Victoria Leeds until Monday 27 July.
Popular Leeds cafe known for its fluffy Japanese sandos is moving to a bigger space
Clementine Hall
One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
