LaplandUK has announced LaplandManchester will be back for 2026 and have announced the dates and ticket price.

Tickets to this popular Christmas attraction are known for selling out fast, with the tickets only going on sale at set times during the year. In fact, last year their first release of tickets this year sold out immediately – get those alarms set.

It offers a four-and-a-half-hour immersive experience in its recreation of Father Christmas’s homeland.

For the second year running LaplandManchester will be located at Capesthorne Hall in Macclesfield and will be spread over the 173,000 sqm. It offers a four-and-a-half-hour immersive experience in its recreation of Father Christmas’s homeland.

The full list of magical activities has not yet been announced for the new location. In the past, those who had previously booked to visit LaplandUK received an invitation in a presentation box. Lapland UK advised to keep this in the freezer before giving it to the lucky child, as it comes straight from Frosty Lapland.

Plus, visitors have the chance to experience a fun immersive theatre show; the chance to help the elves make toys (one of which may magically appear under the tree on Christmas day) and even become an Honorary Elf. If that is not enough, there is also the chance to head to the kitchen to decorate gingerbread with Mother Christmas, meet huskies and reindeer, ice skating, visit the elf village and write letters to Father Christmas.

Of course, everyone gets to see Father Christmas, who is armed with details about each child in his book, resulting in a very special personalised visit. Plus, all children will come away with a special gift.

Visitors can also change their pounds into Elf Jingles to spend in the onsite toy and sweet shops, and a choice of places to eat.

Mike & Alison Battle, founders of LaplandUK, said: “We’ve been so overwhelmed by the incredible response to LaplandUK and the strong connection so many people have with our event.

“It has always been our dream to bring the magic of LaplandUK to as many families as possible, so we are thrilled to announce our plans to launch a new site in Manchester.

“We look forward to welcoming more families to share in the magic of LaplandUK next year and to create more treasured Christmas memories.”
