It’s not officially Christmas until you’ve made a visit to Father Christmas to find out if you’ve been naughty or nice, right? But there’s one a festive experience which will really blow the minds and imaginations of both little folk and big folk; Lapland UK.
This magical winter wonderland is nestled in a forest in Berkshire and every year celebs excitedly wonder through its snow-covered trails. A-list visitors like Cheryl Cole, Marvin and Rochelle Humes, Joe Wicks and The Beckhams have all brought their little ones along, and as soon as you check in at the Elf Desk you know you’re being transported somewhere amazing. After meeting some of Santa’s most special elves, you’ll learn the secret spell which will transport you through a magic portal to arrive in a snow-covered Lapland.
The multi-sensory experience is genuinely authentic and guaranteed to give you tingles. Once there you’ll help make wooden gifts in the toy workshop, decorate gingerbread in Mother Christmas’ kitchen and then you’ll wonder through the pine forest to discover the Elf Village where you can ice skate, write a letter to Father Christmas at the Post Office or check out the mouth-watering treats and Pixie Mixie’s sweet shop. There’s festive food on offer - and we can absolutely recommend the hot chocolate with toasted marshmallow! Once you’ve explored you can make your way to meet the man himself via his real-life reindeer and a selfie opp with The Sleigh.
Santa’s house is exactly as you have always pictured it in your imagination and the elves really go the extra mile to ensure that Father Christmas knows all about your little ones – cue wide eyed astonished faces.
With Covid restrictions in place, the team have made every effort to ensure social distancing guidlines are adhered to and you’ll even be given your own reindeer or huskie face mask on arrival. And this year, the magic is set to continue into January as for the first time, the experience is extending its run into the new year from Saturday 26th December 2020 to Sunday 10th January 2021.
