TobesVerse Review

Lapland UK is an immersive Christmas experience held in woodland at Ascot in Berkshire, running from mid November to Christmas Eve annually. Not a conventional theme park. Guests follow a narrative journey through a fully themed elven world, meeting costumed characters, reindeer, snowflake fairies and Father Christmas in a detailed outdoor environment. Consistently rated one of the best Christmas experiences in the UK with tickets among the most sought-after of any seasonal attraction.
