A MAJOR Southampton furniture store is set to reopen tomorrow.

The doors at IKEA in Southampton will be thrown open on Wednesday, December 2.

It is one of 19 stores to welcome customers back as lockdown measures put in place in November are lifted.

From Wednesday, Southampton will fall into Tier 2 of the new covid restrictions.

This will mean that facilities including the IKEA Bistro will also be able to open.

Different measures will be imposed depending on which tier a store falls into, according to a report by The Mirror.
