Santa’s Lapland Uk tickets

Hi, I’ve had a look and can’t see another thread so thought I’d add one. It’s my first time trying for tickets. London is too far for us, but they’ve opened one in Manchester so trying to get tickets this year. Anyone else trying to get tickets today? Any words of advice for tickets or the event itself?

I was just went on and there's loads of availability. At £640 for a four trip there ought to be. Can't justify it!

What's the link please ?

redcherrie · 31/03/2025 13:20

I got mine all done by 12:20! I was 3267 in the queue. It’s only me and my daughter going; so was £250! X

Nearly £1200 for 6 of us on a Sunday. Eeeek. Still if the reviews are anything to go by it will be brilliant.

Jessiesjammy · 31/03/2025 13:26

tickets for mid week in December seemed to jump £10 for peak times.

we found tickets were selling out whilst they were in the basket but thankfully managed to snag some - £125 each.

I wanted to go but I’m not allowed because I haven’t got kids 😡

Every booking has to include a child

I’m going to hold your hand when I tell you this… Santa isn’t real.

Redandyellowqueen · 31/03/2025 14:04

Took an hour and a half but I managed to get some!

Poupismum · 31/03/2025 16:20

We also booked tickets and they cost around 250 for three of us including the special pop up invite. We booked them for Tuesday evening in November.

FilthyforFirth · 31/03/2025 16:28

Got some! Mid week in December, £488 all in for 2a2c. I hope it is worth it!

LuckysDadsHat · 31/03/2025 18:25

We paid £405 for 4 tickets including fees and postage. This was for a Friday afternoon on the 14th November.

To those who haven't been before it is amazing, we went last year for the first time and it was just incredible. I know it is expensive, but it tops anything else in this country. I would love to do real lapland which is the only thing that can beat lapland uk, but it is out of our price range.

DontGoChasinWaterfalls · 31/03/2025 18:33

I was number 20180 and took me 46 minutes to get 2 tickets for first weekday in November. Cost £185 for me and DD6! Exactly what I paid last year.
It is magical. DD was mesmerised!

Strawberries86 · 31/03/2025 18:49

It took me all day due to 3 crashes at payment time. Going in November due to cost.

@TeapotCollection im sorry but I’m glad they don’t allow just adults. Surely its a safeguarding measure and it’s aimed at children?

@LuckysDadsHat we did Lapland (Finland) a couple of years ago and it was incredible. I’ve seen people say you can go there cheaper than the U.K. version but not if you’re going properly. You need a good few days there because it’s completely magical (it’s so cold the air is frozen so it literally sparkles!). It was a few years ago so I’m hoping the kids will enjoy this just as much. My eldest is nine (with a global developmental delay) so I think he would probably believe for a few more years, but not sure his class mates will let him. I’m hoping he’ll still believe this year but not sure he will. He’s discovered the truth about the tooth fairy recently :(

I priced it up going for 4 nights and it was coming in at 3.8k including flights, hotel and a couple of activities for 3 of us! Lapland UK at £405 is more my budget at the moment 🤣🤣🤣

It does look and sound incredible!

Ascot is sold out! Bugger.

SantasLeftSock · 01/04/2025 07:22

@Pices Ive heard they release more tickets later in the year. And that you can check the website regularly and people drop out and tickets become available? Buyers remorse after the pressure of having to pick in 10 minutes

I was curious as to where Lapland Manchester was going to be - scratched my head thinking where in the City it could be. Looked it up, nowhere near the City, not even the same county … they have a cheek calling it “Manchester”

Capesthorne Hall is beautiful, went to a wedding last year… no chance of getting there on Public Transport, and really limited hotel options. Strange choice of venue.

LuckysDadsHat · 01/04/2025 16:04

I am on a couple of laplanduk Facebook groups and I am amazed at the amount of people that want to cancel the tickets they spent hours wanting to get. Do people really get sucked in that much by the hype?

Also the amount and I mean it's in the hundreds, of people who messed up their bookings. How do people do that!?!
