LaplandUK remains a royal favorite, having been visited by Prince William, Princess Kate, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis in 2022.
The festive attraction’s popularity soared last year, drawing stars like Katie Piper, Jessie J, Michael Sheen, and David Tennant, who brought their families to Berkshire for a memorable holiday experience. Among the million guests who have attended since its opening in 2007 are celebrities such as Tom Hardy, Elton John, and the Beckhams.
Make sure to note the date in your calendar if you’re eager to partake in the enchanting theatrical Christmas event near Ascot, featuring reindeer, elves, and, of course, Santa Claus. Tickets for LaplandUK will be released on March 18, 2024.
Similar to Glastonbury’s ticket drop, last year’s event saw an overwhelming response, with over 200,000 guests anxiously waiting in the virtual queue, and tickets were sold out within a few hours.
So, what makes LaplandUK so special, you may wonder? In an interview last November, co-founders and executive producers of LaplandUK, Mike and Alison Battle explained why families from over 54 different countries come: “Every year the production continues to improve, powered by our commitment to create a believable world.”
The couple, alongside their children – who also work in the family business – are incredibly hard at work to make LaplandUK an amazing experience every year, so as many children as possible can enjoy it.
Of future plans, they added: “We have received interest from around the world for the live show and are in the planning stages of opening a second site in the UK.”
Mike and Alison also spoke about their inspiring plans to start a foundation “with the ambition, amongst other things, of placing a stocking on the bed of every child spending Christmas Eve in a UK hospital.” They added: “Our hope is that in five years’ time, we will have achieved this mission and expanded our horizons further, fulfilling the Christmas dreams of children all over the world.”
LaplandUK tickets can be purchased for dates ranging from November 9th to December 24th. Ticket prices vary between £60 and £190 per person, depending on the selected date. Premium prices apply to weekends and dates closer to Christmas Eve.
