From the official press release:
LAPLAND UK RETURNS WITH ANOTHER ENCHANTING CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE FOR ALL THE FAMILY
After a sensational sell out inaugural year in 2007, Lapland UK is again bringing its magic to Kent this Christmas.
This year’s location will be the beautiful Bewl Water Estate which will be transformed into a winter wonderland from the 10th November until 24th December 2008.
The Lapland UK experience begins when a personalised invitation to each child from Father Christmas arrives in the post requesting his/her help to assist the Elves in the toy factory this Christmas ...and here begins the children’s magical journey along the elves’ enchanted pathway to learn the ‘secrets in the forest’!
Families will enjoy four hours of magical fun at Lapland UK. Starting with a visit to Father Christmas’s toy factory, where the children train as apprentice elves - working on the majestic, hand carved rocking horses created by the world renowned Stevenson Brothers.
Then every child will delight in helping Mother Christmas in her Gingerbread house, before moving on to Lapland UK’s very own North Pole Post Office where they can send a letter to Father Christmas.
And, whilst at Lapland UK, everyone will also learn about the indigenous Saami people of Lapland when visiting their tented encampment, where children can listen to traditional Nordic stories as well as meet the much loved Husky dogs and reindeer of Lapland.
New for 2008, families can also go ice skating in the Village Square as well as enjoy a delicious freshly prepared two-course meal in the new seated log cabin restaurant, both of which are included in the ticket price and are another unique Lapland UK feature.
But, the highlight of the day will, of course, be the family’s personalised private audience with Father Christmas in his snowy woodland home, where extra-special memories will be created as the magical man personalises each visit, referencing information about the child’s interests and
friends as provided by parents at the time of booking.
And to cap it all ... every visitor will receive a beautiful gift from Lapland UK to remember their special day!
“Our vision is to provide a high quality Lapland inspired Christmas experience here in the UK as an alternative to flying to Lapland, thus providing families with an opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint yet still enjoy a magical Christmas day trip”, said creator Mike Battle.
Prices £55-£85 pp and include a meal, all activities and quality gifts for all.
Tickets available from 8th September at www.laplanduk.co.uk or call 0871 221 9627.
Places are limited so early booking is recommended. Advance booking only.

Looking at the website, things are booking up quickly already. Weekends are priciest, likewise the price increases the closer you get to Christmas. Tickets have only been available for 4 days and already the week before Christmas is fully booked.

We went to lapland uk at bedgebury last year and it was fantastic, £25 child, £20 adult now a ticket is £85 for the time that we went that is disgraceful! I am disgusted in the price of the tickets now. Obviously it was a great success last year and fully booked but it is greed that has allowed the price to be trebbled!

I agree with you - it's too much to go as a family even this year. I would love to take our son, but for the 3 of us, and potentially Grandma, the best part of £400 for a day is crazy. It's over the top and consequently I think will struggle to meet expectations.
