Tickets for LaplandUK, the immersive Christmas experience, go on sale Friday 27 March for both its Ascot and Manchester venues. Organisers expect over one million people to join the online queue, making the release day comparable to securing Glastonbury tickets.
The experience runs from 7 November to 24 December 2026, with ticket prices ranging from £60 to £195 depending on date and time. A parent who visited last year described it as 'one of the most magical experiences we’ve ever had as a family', though acknowledged the cost is 'on the pricey side'.
Returning guests will find several changes for 2026, including an upgraded invitation box arriving earlier, a longer kitchen experience for gingerbread decorating, and more time to explore the main village. A new fables library and additional characters have also been added, along with a 'portal' finale to end the visit.
Jenny Egan, who runs a LaplandUK Facebook community with over 50,000 members, advised: 'Ticket day has become a bit of an event in itself… it can feel intense, but if you’re prepared and stay calm, you’ve got a much better chance than you think.'
