For that extra special treat at Christmas, Lapland UK could be exactly what you're after. The perfect way to surprise the whole family, Lapland, based in Ascot, opens during the festive season as an alternative to heading up to the real Lapland, instead telling the story of Father Christmas.
This immersive experience takes about 4 hours to enjoy and is open from mid November. You will enjoy a 90 minute theatre experience before you can then enjoy all that the Elven Village has to offer, including meeting reindeer, huskies and, of course, the chance to meet Father Christmas.
Lapland tickets for the coming winter are available from September. It is advisable to book well in advance to avoid disappointment, particularly if you plan to visit in the few days before Christmas.
