IKEA Cardiff will be holding a weekend of foodie inspiration and activities on August 1-2.

IKEA IDEAS Festival will be packed full of advice and design tips on this year's theme of food and includes free tastings throughout the store to give a unique insight into Scandinavian cuisine and encourage visitors to bring some joy back into the kitchen.

IKEA FAMILY members can book a place on an exclusive workshop introducing the food of Sweden and learning the art of the Smogasbord, alongside fun activities to challenge taste buds with blind tastings and unusual food pairings. Members will also have a number of fantastic offers to take advantage of, find out more at ikea.com/gb/en/store/cardiff.

There are also workshops for kids and adults, from growing herbs to creative table styling, which will showcase table setting ideas to suit every budget and occasion. For all of the cocktail lovers out there, there will also be a summertime pop-up bar complete with a flare bartender serving refreshing drinks throughout the weekend. If that wasn’t enough then there are muffin decorating workshops for junior bakers to get stuck into.
