Everything from soft furnishings to larger items such as wardrobes have been discounted, and free click-and-collect is also available.
You can find your closest store by using the store locator on the website where you will also find the opening times.
We spotted a Fejka artificial hanging potted plant that was reduced from £1 to 50p, a saving of 50% on the original price.
Punters can make the same eye-popping saving for a sweet pea scented candle, a set of 15 cable ties and an eye-catching dish cloth.
Customers can dig a little deeper into their pockets if they fancy a discounted mobile phone holder scanning for £1.
A pack of two bamboo coasters are also selling for a quid, as is a smart black cable organiser bag.
BRANCHING OUT
It comes after IKEA opened its first hotel in Spain, on a very popular holiday island.
Las Dunas de Santa Catalina Boutique House is a new two-star hotel owned by the interiors brand to open on Gran Canaria.
Don't expect to see any of the iconic blue and yellow designs, however.

The modern hotel, which has adult-only rooms, is more muted in its interiors.
A small outdoor swimming pool is lined with sunloungers and overlooked by the hotel restaurant.
And outdoor garden terrace is right by the restaurant as well, which serves breakfast.
The only nod to the logo colours are in the bedroom, with some having blue or yellow bedspreads.
Rooms range from double and triple rooms to ones that have pool or garden views.
SHUT UP SHOP
However, it's not all good news for fans of the Swedish conglomerate.
The famous Swedish homewares retailer has confirmed the Plan and Order point at the Stockport Merseyway Shopping Centre will cease in just a fortnight's time on June 16.
The store in Greater Manchester is a smaller outlet than its usual out-of-town locations and is focused on kitchen, bedroom and living room planning.
The aim was to provide somewhere for customers to go to get advice and expertise on home furnishing and somewhere where they could design their ideal fittings and get individual 3D interior plans from the interior designers.
According to IKEA, the decision to close the store permanently was made due to 'a result of valuable learnings' where the company recognised their customers wanted a different retail experience, more along the lines of Click and Collect and return services.
While the Stockport branch will close for good, other Plan and Order points, such as the ones in Dundee, York and Hull, will be adapted to meet those new demands and also include a small range of home furnishing accessories to buy.

I'm a single mum and wanted to give the stairs in my rented house a new look – I'm on a strict budget & did it for £35
SHE wanted to give her staircase a new look, but rents her home. So after getting permission from the landlord, Megan decided to get started on the makeover - which she managed to complete for just £35. 6 6 She began by leaving a strip down the middle of the stairs bare, and headed to her local IKEA to pick up some of their £2 Tiphede runners. When she got home, she got started by cleaning off the stairs, before she started attaching the rugs to the steps. After getting them in the perfect position, she used a heavy duty staple gun to attach them onto the stairs. And once she'd finished, the rugs looked like a perfect, professional and expensive stair runner. "Changing the stairs on my private rented property with permission from my landlord," Megan wrote over the top of the video. "Single mum on a budget style!" And she added in the caption: "I love it when a vision comes to life….now I just need to go accessory shopping. "This whole project has cost me around £35 in total. Now that's what you call DIY on a budget!" People in the comments section were quick to praise Megan for the transformation, with one writing: "Well done, looks amazing!" "It looks stunning! You've done amazing!" another added. "What is the tool your using to tack the runners in place babe?" "Thank you so much, it's been a long few days," Megan replied. "It's just a heavy duty staple gun." "Well worth the effort, looks great," a third praised. "That is amazing, fair play to you," someone else commented. "It's beautiful - ready for your next project." Home upgrades that add the most value to a house The best renovation to add value totally depends on your property, the local market and your potential buyers. Zoopla shared a list of upgrades that will instantly add value to your home. Loft conversion - increase of 15% Off-street parking - adds £50,000 to property price New kitchen - increase of 15% Garage conversion - increase of 15% Cellar or basement conversion - increase of 10-15% Open plan living space - increase of 3-5% New bathroom - increase of 3-5% "Gorgeous! Love this, well done!" another wrote. "I work in Ikea... that's great use of the Tiphede runner rug," someone else said. "It looks stunning," another added. "In the middle of doing our stairs - could you please tell me how you managed to get a neat line up your stairs for the paint? "I'm so close to chucking the brush!" To which Megan replied: "Masking tape but remove it whilst the paint is still wet". "I did something similar and I swear trying to keep them clean is a nightmare! It will be a daily task!" someone else commented. With Megan responding: "I have 5 children, I'm always cleaning anyway!" "Came out really nice..." another said. 6 6

Ikea partners with NI Hospice to transform wedding dress section of charity's Glengormley store
The retailer has partnered with Northern Ireland Hospice to transform the bridal section in the charity's Glengormley store into a purpose-built space. Designed and fitted out by Ikea workers, it will provide brides-to-be with a glamorous wedding dress shopping experience at an affordable price. Alan Kennedy, head of retail at Northern Ireland Hospice, found it easy to accept the furnishing retailer's proposal to assist the project aimed at adding an extra sparkle to the big day. 'We are delighted to partner with Ikea on this initiative, which will transform and enhance customers' joyous rite-of-passage shopping experience when choosing the perfect wedding gown or formal dress,' he said. 'Buying second-hand at your local hospice shop or by generously donating items you no longer need, including special occasion wear, is a great way to play your part in protecting the planet, while also supporting local people with life-limiting illnesses and who need hospice's specialist palliative care.' As part of the renovation to ensure products are displayed in fitting surroundings to match the occasion, Ikea has donated wardrobe frames, rugs, curtains, armchairs, dressing tables, soft furnishings, and large mirrors to provide the perfect setting for wedding planning. Additionally, bespoke décor has been crafted for the area, with carpenters from the Belfast branch of Ikea creating a purpose-built mirror wall and podium for brides to stand on before saying 'yes to the dress'. The redesign has been complimented by the Scandinavian chain's large, eye-catching graphics which have been designed in-house to be displayed across the charity shop's windows. The renovated bridal section will allow the charity to properly display its stock of over 40 high-quality wedding dresses, encouraging brides to buy pre-loved dresses and accessories. It is also hoped that it will inspire more women to consider donating their wedding dresses to support the charity. All proceeds from the sales of the pre-owned gowns and accessories will go directly to support the vital work of Northern Ireland Hospice, enabling it to continue offering specialist respite, symptom management and end-of-life palliative care to 4,000 infants, children and adults each year. Hayley Thompson, interior designer at Ikea in Belfast, is delighted to help usher in a new look to enhance the wedding planning experience. 'Shopping for a wedding dress is such a special occasion and one that we wanted to make accessible to all brides in the local community,' she said. 'This partnership represents Ikea's commitment to sustainability and community, providing brides-to-be with a special shopping experience, as well as affordable access to pre-loved wedding gowns. 'We hope that the new bridal store will encourage more brides to donate their own wedding dresses, giving them a second life while supporting an incredible cause.' Ikea in Belfast has a long relationship with the Northern Ireland Hospice, having previously worked hand-in-hand on a project for the charity's Somerton House store. It said the latest engagement is a key part of Ikea's broader goal to provide services that help customers build a better and more sustainable everyday life.

I tried out world's FIRST purpose-built inland surf resort – it's right here in Scotland
As if the waves weren't perfect enough, the luxury glamping pods offer a touch of class WAVES OF FUN I tried out world's FIRST purpose-built inland surf resort – it's right here in Scotland Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN it comes to surfing, hotspots like Hawaii and California will always be hard to beat. But Scotland now has a state-of-the-art venue where you can catch the perfect wave all-year round. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Lost Shore Surf Resort near Edinburgh has a waterfront bar and a huge wave pool 8 Ben Ramage tested it out for us - and the luxury accommodation on site Sitting on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Lost Shore Surf Resort is the world's first purpose-built inland surf resort. Opening to the public for the first time last November, the £60million facility is home to Europe's largest and most advanced wave pool. While Scotland already boasts some of the UK's best natural surf hotspots, what sets Lost Shore apart is the reliability of the waves. The state-of-the-art wave machine is able to generate up to 1,000 waves per hour, meaning you are always guaranteed to find waves big enough to catch. Or in my case, at least try to! Arriving at Lost Shore feels like stepping into a giant playground. Based in an old quarry, the gigantic pool spreads out around a futuristic-looking restaurant and reception. To one side sit luxury waterfront glamping pods, while on the hill above sit hilltop lodges with excellent views. We stayed in one of the well- appointed waterfront pods. While certainly compact, with a wet room consisting of a shower sitting above the toilet and sink, the space was clean and striking. The king-size bed was extremely comfortable, while there were all sorts of smart technology features, from lighting to speakers. Scotland's Cheapest & Most Expensive Coastal Towns Arriving the night before my lesson allowed us to try out the fabulous food offerings at Lost Shore. Don't let the simple name put you off. There were four different delicious offerings in the Canteen, from award-winning high end restaurant Five March to NYC pizza joint- inspired Civerinos. We tried both, with the Catalan hot honey fried chicken and famous fried spuds from Five March particular favourites. The Zeppole Cinnamon Doughnuts from Civernios were a delicious dessert, with the Pilot Lost Shore lager going down a treat too. The next morning, with a breakfast brioche roll on board, I geared up in a wetsuit and headed for the pool. 8 And the luxury glamping pods provide a perfect night's sleep Credit: Supplied 8 The hilltop lodges are perfect for families or groups of friends 8 They are spacious and have all mod cons you'll need 8 Some comfort food to kick back after a day on the waves Credit: Ben Ramage 8 The sweet treats on offer will tempt anyone Credit: Ben Ramage I had only been surfing once before I visited Lost shore. And while I loved the experience at Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, known as the spiritual birthplace of surfing, the only frustrating part was the infrequency of the waves and knowing which ones to chase. At Lost Shore, the Wavegarden machine simply keeps pumping out the perfect waves — time after time. So after a quick reintroduction to the essentials of technique, I was quickly back riding waves — and falling off them in equal measure! But that's the beauty of surfing. It's a huge adrenaline rush when you feel the wave surging beneath your surfboard and pushing you towards the shoreline. And it's still hard not to have a smile on your face when you flip over harmlessly into the water. 8 Ben with his surf board Credit: Supplied The instructors at Lost Shore were excellent, giving a concise initial lesson and handy pointers throughout. I definitely felt like a better surfer by the end of my hour-long session. Lost Shore caters for all levels of surfers, from beginner to expert, with technology that can produce the right wave to suit. And sitting at three times the size of Hampden's football pitch, there is enough space to have multiple groups of different abilities all on the water at the same time. It's certainly an impressive space and the whole feel of the facility is tailored to the surfing way of life. Not only that, there is also a wellness centre that offers massages and treatments — with my wife Jennifer thoroughly enjoying a facial while I was hitting the waves. Heading into its first summer season, it's going to become an increasingly popular surfing hotspot. So whether it's your first time on a board or your 100th, you certainly won't regret visiting Lost Shore.
