Ikea sleepover offers locals an Essex spa break
YOU MAY have recently rested your frazzled over-worked minds, dear readers, by heading off to some faraway exotic location for a relaxing summer break.
Yet for 20 lucky souls in Essex last weekend, an opportunity for chillaxing came from a less typical source.
The pack headed off to Lakeside Ikea where they were treated to a sleep-over in the store. Or as its promoters have described it – “an overnight spa experience.”
Any images of midnight hotdogs or being crushed by tumbling flat-packs must be put to one side, with the winners of the giant Swedish store’s competition apparently being treated to a somewhat better time.
“Guests were woken to the peaceful sounds of the Swedish forest, before an energising yoga session and light healthy breakfast,” Ikea says.
How delightful.
The purpose of this extravaganza? To show folk that they can get all the comforts of a luxury spa break from within their own homes, simply by fitting out bathrooms and bedrooms with Ikea gear. Convinced? Well it should work out cheaper than Rowhill Grange…
