Both passes are also available as one-month (£5 midweek / £8 anytime), six-month (£25 midweek / £45 anytime) or annual (£40 midweek / £70 anytime) subscriptions.

Charlotte Exell, Group Online Director at Morrisons, said: “Christmas is all about making memories, enjoying time with loved ones and having festive fun.
