“to wish is to believe”

father christmas

back in 2007, a whole 9 years ago LaplandUK began its magical journey. mike and alison battle had become frustrated with the uk christmas offering, and with four young sons they set upon developing an original and innovative idea of recreating father christmas’ mythical arctic homeland here in the uk.

they employed hollywood set designers and west end performers to deliver an award-winning and immersive theatrical experience to be never forgotten.

tucked away in the heart of the crown estate in ascot, LaplandUK, welcome big and small folk to travel along secret pathways, uncover the hidden elven village and help father christmas’s elves make toys for the children of the world.

elf passports are waiting for children personally invited by father christmas to be stamped along a 3.5 hour mystical immersive journey where small folk make toys, decorate gingerbread with mother christmas, go ice skating, meet huskies and reindeer, write letters at the elves post office and finally enjoy a personalised meeting with father christmas in his snowy woodland home.
