Overview
LaplandUK produces immersive Christmas experiences for families, bringing Father Christmas' woodland home to life at its Ascot and Manchester destinations. The theatrical journey combines detailed sets, live characters and hands-on activities, with children helping in the toy factory before meeting Father Christmas. Families enter at a booked time and spend up to four and a half hours exploring the story, decorating gingerbread and skating in an elven village. The business sells admission to these seasonal productions, whose performances and family activities unfold across themed spaces and woodland paths. Founded in 2007, LaplandUK is headquartered in London.
