Lapland UK is a truly unique and enchanting attraction, nestled right in the heart of the UK.

Each year, it transforms into a snowy paradise, capturing the essence of Lapland’s magic without the need for a long-haul flight! Let’s delve into why Lapland UK 2023 is a must-visit for families.

But first…the magic starts at home. How? Because your kids will receive a very special invitation. Your kids will receive personalised invitations from Father Christmas! Asking them to come along to Lapland to help the Elves make toys at the workshop!

The invitation comes with a wax-sealed letter in a beautiful invitation box. For that EXTRA dusting of Christmas magic, you can freeze the invitations so they’re icy cold and drop them in the fireplace (unlit of course). This way, the kids will believe the invitation came straight from the chilly Lapland! Simply genius.

Then on the BIG day, your 4-hour journey and immersive adventure is about to blow your minds.

From the moment you arrive in Lapland UK, you’ll be transported to a snowy world filled with twinkling lights, snow-covered trees, and charming wooden cabins.

A reporter Elf will turn up with a human version of the Lapland Grapevine for all of you to read before continuing their journey.

But what’s this? The magical portal is closed and won’t open! Not to worry… Eeko and Sage the keepers of the magical doorway are to help. With a bit of magical thinking and a secret pass rhyme, something fascinating happens that opens the doorway.

The attention to detail is astounding, making you feel like you’ve stepped right into the pages of a fairytale. 

At check-in, the small folk will receive a special Elven passport that will permit them to travel and wander along the Elven pathways!

Lapland wouldn’t be complete without its hardworking Elves. Families can help the Elves in their workshop to help make toys for children around the world!

The special bit? The toy your child makes will be secretly given to the adults at the end of the experience for you to gift on Christmas Day!

As you walk along the magical pathways in the snowy woodland, you’ll smell the delicious aroma of gingerbread men. Which means you’re getting closer to Mother Christmas’ Kitchen!

The small folk will welcomed into the kitchen and will help decorate Father Christmas’ favourite treat on a dedicated workbench. Afterwards, they’ll enjoy a cosy story time session with Mother Christmas.

Throughout your visit, you’ll be treated to captivating shows, immersive theatre, storytelling sessions, and interactive performances that will leave both kids and adults in awe.

These experiences are designed to immerse you in the enchanting world of Lapland! From the atmospheric Elven civilisation in the Elven Village, where you grab some sweet treats like Elven Crumble and sip on hot chocolate, to more delicious refreshments and quick bites!

Meet Father Christmas’ reindeer, and the tinker apprentice who is in charge of making sure the magical sleigh is up to scratch.

Meeting the oldest and wisest Lapland Elves who are in charge of creating the route for Christmas Eve and so much more. But the best part is yet to come…

The time is finally here to meet Father Christmas in his cosy cabin! Travel deeper into the Arctic homeland before coming across a very cosy cabin.

Before heading in, the Elves take the big human folk aside and ask them their child’s names and a few more personal information so Father Christmas can have a really great and personalised conversation with your kids! From who their best friend is to what they would really like for Christmas!

Father Christmas will then gift your small folk a special Golden Bell as they become an ‘honorary elf’, as well as that special gift that they can treasure forever as a memento from their enchanting experience.

It’s a heartwarming and unforgettable way to end their time at Lapland UK, which will not only create lasting memories, but massive smiles!
