Our most sought-after festive adventure returns for Christmas 2025 – and this year, the magic is bigger than ever. The Golden Experience at Lapland has always been the pinnacle of festive storytelling, and for the very first time, you won’t need to travel only to Berkshire to immerse yourself in the enchantment.
If you missed out on the general release of Lapland tickets or are looking for that little extra sparkle to elevate your family’s Christmas, the Golden Experience is your exclusive key to an unforgettable celebration.
Christmas 2025 marks a new chapter in Lapland’s story. Alongside its world-famous home at Whitmoor Forest in Ascot, Berkshire, a second magical doorway will open at the enchanting Capesthorne Hall in Macclesfield. This expansion means even more families will have the chance to step inside Lapland’s immersive festive world – an experience that has captured the hearts of over one million visitors in the past 17 years, including a personal dedication from Elton John himself. Back in March, 350,000 general admission tickets for both Ascot and Manchester sold out in record time. But as official partners of Lapland’s Golden Experience, we are delighted to provide you with access to the premium version of this extraordinary Christmas journey.
The Golden Experience is not just an entry ticket, it is a complete reimagining of the Lapland adventure, curated with layers of exclusivity, luxury, and festive detail.
Your journey begins long before the day itself. Each child receives a personalised invitation from Father Christmas, delivered directly to your home. Inside, you’ll find their precious Whisperleaf ticket, a magical keepsake that becomes their passport to Lapland, alongside festive touches designed to build anticipation.
On the day, you’ll enjoy:
