We went to the real Lapland, yes it was expensive but it was fantastic, we went for 3 nights but a friend of mine went for 1 day and seemed to enjoy it as much. Its truly magical to see all the snow, its gets dark really early which adds to the atmosphere, its cold and it was very believable, I was quite worried that it would be really fake.

well I couldnt afford to go to real lapland anyway () but we did go to ladlanduk and the children loved it. However, we thought it was aright rip off

My friend went to eurodisney (is it still called that?) in december and they had a wonderful time, if you want to be conned by disney instead?

Good point, Fio. They are definately not doing Bedgebury this year but apparantly looking for another site. So maybe the authenticity of the wood setting could be lost....

Here's a good article

And more here and here. And here

and there's some cheaper deals here no idea if they are any good.

Am glad you asked this quesiton as I was plannign on doign a bit of research myself later in the year.

Form these reports it sounds as if the Lapland experience is just as touristy as the UK one, so far as the parents are concerned, though the kids in the articles seem to have been won over by the real lapland more.

I think staying overnight would be worth the extra cost (especially as you arrive just as the sun is setting).

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
