Ticket Terms & Conditions
These terms and conditions set out the terms on which Lapland London Limited (Lapland London) or Lapland Manchester Limited (Lapland Manchester), as applicable, (we/us/our) supply tickets and/or permit attendance to our magical LaplandUK events (Terms). They also govern the terms and conditions of anyone attending with you. So please do read them carefully, as well as the Lapland Privacy Policy before booking tickets for or attending one of our events. Please also ensure that other adults attending with you are aware of, and comply with, these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you will not be able to purchase tickets to our LaplandUK events. We recommend that you print a copy of these Terms for future reference.
1 Overview
1.1 Where are the LaplandUK venues?
We currently operate two LaplandUK events (Event(s)) in the UK.
• our London Event, which is located at Whitmoor Forest, Swinley Rd, Winkfield Row, Ascot, Berkshire, SL5 8BD; and
• our Manchester Event, which is located at Capesthorne Hall, Siddington, Cheshire, SK11 9JY.
1.2 Who am I contracting with?
This depends on which Event you are attending. If you have purchased a ticket or received complimentary attendance for:
• Our London Event, you are contracting with Lapland London, a company incorporated in England and Wales with company number 07135679 and with registered office at 15 Bedford Street, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2E 9HE;
• our Manchester Event, you are contracting with Lapland Manchester, a company incorporated in England and Wales with company number 15730306 and with registered office at 15 Bedford Street, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2E 9HE.
1.3 How is the contract formed between you and us when booking tickets?
You can only purchase tickets to an Event if you are aged eighteen (18) years or older. By placing an order, you warrant and represent that you are aged eighteen (18) years or over and can enter into legally binding contracts.
When you submit a request for tickets (for example, by completing a booking through www.laplanduk.co.uk (the Website)) this constitutes an offer by you to us to purchase a visit to the applicable Event. All offers by you are subject to acceptance by us.
Your contract will come into existence at the time your booking is completed. Subject to Section 7, your booking is completed when you see a “Booking Confirmation” page on your screen. We will send you an email which will confirm your booking and include the relevant ticket QR codes for you and each member of your party. Ticket QR codes are your digital tickets and must be shown at the Event in order to gain access for you and each member of your party. The email will also include a link to your ‘My Lapland’ account as well as a summary of your booking.
All tickets you purchase are for personal use only, by you and those in your party. You and your party must not re-sell or transfer any tickets to the Event(s), or attempt to do so. We reserve all rights in relation to any breaches of this restriction, including the right to cancel any ticket(s) you have purchased, or sought to purchase, without prior notice and without refund, compensation or other liability.
The named person on the booking, also known as the “Lead Booker”, will be the one who holds authority and responsibility for the booking. Cancellation and amendment requests to tickets can only be made via the Lead Booker. The Lead Booker is responsible for all attendees on the booking and their behaviour at the Event. Each booking must include at least one full paying Adult aged over eighteen (18) and one Child. Please see Section 3 for how we define “Child” and “Adult”.
2 Admission and right of entry
Tickets issued to you are required for entry to the applicable Event. Please take care when purchasing tickets to an Event to ensure that you are purchasing tickets for your desired LaplandUK venue (ie London or Manchester). Please note, in the event you purchase tickets for an Event location you did not intend to purchase for (i.e. you intended to attend our London Event, however you purchased a Manchester Event ticket), you will be denied entry with no refund or ability to reschedule. Please contact us by clicking here https://portal.laplanduk.co.uk/contact-us/ if you have any queries or concerns. Once you have made a booking you will not be able to move your booking between either Lapland event sites (I.e if you book Lapland Manchester, you will be unable to transfer your booking to Lapland London or vice versa).
Our management reserve the right to refuse entry to you (and your fellow guests) if you fail to present the tickets issued to you when required on entry to the Event. We may issue you with printed invitations as part of your LaplandUK pack. These invitations are not required for, nor are they valid for, entry to the Event.
Your experience at the Event itself and your visit (and the visits of our other visitors) is set to a strict timetable. Please ensure that you and your guests arrive before your scheduled entry time. At the absolute discretion of our management, entry to the Event may be refused if you (or those in your party as the case may be) arrive after your allocated entry time. In any event, unfortunately any late entry may mean that you and your party may miss out on some of the timed performances and activities.
You and your party must comply with all instructions from our staff at the Event, plus applicable health and safety rules and any security requirements in place and as may be notified to you from time to time. For security reasons people, bags and any other property may be searched as a condition of entry.
In exceptional cases, our staff reserve the right to refuse entry to individuals to the Event or remove those who have already been admitted if, in their reasonable opinion, the presence of those individuals is likely to create any health and safety or security concerns or considerably lowers (or is likely to lower) the enjoyment of other guests. Equally, we reserve the right in our reasonable discretion to remove any attendee whose conduct is contrary to the spirit of the Event (including through intoxication or otherwise) or the Event rules, as set out in these Terms or otherwise notified to you.
Each booking must contain at least one Child and one Adult aged over eighteen (18). You will not be permitted access to the Event on your visit date unless there is at least one Child and one Adult aged over eighteen (18) in attendance.
We take no responsibility for damage caused to any vehicle using an Event car park and no guarantee is given to the security of your vehicle or any contents, or those of any in your party. Vehicles are parked entirely at the owners’ own risk.
We use CCTV cameras to support the safe running of our Events. We do not make any representation as to the extent of coverage provided by any of our CCTV cameras. Please also see the Lapland Privacy Policy here.
3 The Lapland Experience
By purchasing tickets or attending an Event, you expressly acknowledge the investment we have made to create and bring this high-quality experience to you and your family and friends (Lapland Experience). You also agree that you will not do anything to infringe, replicate or interfere with any of our intellectual property rights or use any part of your experience at an Event for any commercial purpose without our prior written approval. While we aim to give you a consistent Lapland Experience across our locations, naturally there may be some differences between our London and Manchester Events.
If you see or hear about anyone not acting in the spirit of these Terms, please do notify our staff to help us protect the long-term enjoyment of the Lapland Experience for all our customers.
We appreciate that not all families are the same, but for the purposes of attending an Event and these Terms, a “Child” is someone aged between twelve (12) months and sixteen (16) years old, an “Adult” is someone aged seventeen (17) years or over and an “Infant” is someone aged up to and including twelve (12) months. Infants visit free of charge on ‘observer’ status (ie they do not receive the invitation, any gifts or participate in activities at the Event). We reserve the right to request proof of age and this must be produced on request. Please note that these ages relate to the age of the Adult, Child or Infant at the time of visiting the Event rather than at the time you make your booking.
We reserve the right in our absolute discretion to (i) offer a “Child” ticket to an Adult (for example, on proof that an Adult does not have legal capacity) and (ii) to grant “Personal Assistant” tickets to Adults who are needed to support those attending who have disability or other accessibility support needs. We require evidence of such support status prior to allowing access to the Event to someone who has purchased a “Personal Assistant” ticket (being such documentation or other evidence as we may reasonably request).
By purchasing an Infant and/or Child ticket, you are confirming that you are either the parent, legal guardian or nominated guardian of the Infant or Child for whom you are purchasing.
We treat each booking as a separate group and on arrival we will issue each Child with an individual passport for use at the Event.
In any family group, each full paying Child will receive a gift from Father Christmas (Gift). The nature of the Gift and its value is at our absolute discretion. The Gift may be the same Gift for every child and may be the same or a similar Gift at each Event (including year on year). Equally, we reserve the right to change Gifts at any time. We are unable to facilitate any Gift swap requests at the Event. Please note that any alternative outside items/gifts/presents/special requests cannot be given out or presented during the visit to meet Father Christmas.
Gifts can only be obtained by those attending on Child tickets at the applicable Event. Gifts cannot be collected after the Event, nor will Gifts be posted to you or a member of your party (whether at a later date or otherwise). Those attending on Adult, Infant and Personal Assistant tickets do not receive Gifts.
The timing and sequence of the activities that make up the Lapland Experience at each Event is at the sole discretion of our management.
We strive to ensure that the Lapland Experience at each Event is a happy and memorable one for you and your fellow guests for all the right reasons, however we cannot be liable for distress caused by circumstances beyond our control (including the weather conditions and event special effects including lighting, sound and scents) nor for any emotional distress or disappointment caused by the role playing of characters (including, if any Child (or Adult) loses his or her belief in Father Christmas for any reason as a result of visiting the Event). The appearance and availability of characters at each Event may be subject to change. We reserve the right to amend or withdraw character appearances without prior notice.
4 Event rules
We reserve the right to refuse admission to an Event, remove individual(s) from an Event without any right to a refund and ban an individual from entry to an Event in the event that we determine in our reasonable discretion that they pose a danger to others (including other attendees and our staff) or that their presence lessens, or is likely to lessen, the enjoyment of others at the Event. Failure to adhere to any of the Event rules listed in this Section 4 and these Terms, may also result in removal from an Event.
No smoking or vaping: As a children’s experience in a natural forest setting, smoking, vaping or use of e-cigarettes is not permitted anywhere at an Event.
No dangerous items: It is prohibited to bring into an Event, any weapons, fireworks, smoke bombs, illegal substances or other items or materials which we deem a potential threat to others attending the Event or which will lessen their enjoyment of the Event. To prevent such substances, items or other materials being brought into the Event, we carry out bag checks of all bags (including children’s bags) upon entry to the Event.
Food and drink: With the exception of bottled water, food and drink from outside the Event is strictly prohibited from being brought into the Event. Where an individual has an allergy we may permit such individual to bring their own food and drink into the Event. As part of a Child’s activity at an Event (for example, assisting Mother Christmas in her kitchen), we may provide ingredients for the Child to partake in the activity. If you have any concerns at all in respect of such ingredients (whether as a result of an allergy or otherwise), you must notify our staff prior to you or any member of your party entering the Event. We are not responsible for any cross contamination of ingredients by members of your party or other attendees when children are partaking in such an activity.
Pets and assistance dogs: Pets or other animals may not be brought into an Event, except with our permission assistance dogs, as defined in the Equality Act 2010. Guests wishing to attend with such an assistance dog must email accessibility@laplanduk.co.uk at least seven (7) days prior to attending the Event. To qualify as an assistance dog under the Equality Act 2010, the dog must be: (a) trained to guide a blind person; (b) trained to assist a deaf person; (c) trained by a prescribed charity to assist an individual with a disability affecting mobility (e.g., epilepsy); or (d) trained to assist someone with another prescribed disability.
Please note, our staff cannot provide care for assistance dogs. Owners are permitted to bring food and a water bowl for an assistance dog’s comfort, but this will not be provided by us. Assistance dogs are not permitted on the ice-skating rink for safety reasons. Please note, real reindeer will be present at the Event (usually at the top of the Elven Trail) and you must ensure that an assistance dog is under the control of a responsible Adult aged over eighteen (18) at the Event at all times. You or the relevant member of your party will be responsible for any damage or harm caused as a result of bringing an assistance dog to an Event.
Animals that provide emotional and psychological support to their owners whose health condition does not fit into the prescribed disability category, also known as, Emotional Support Animals (ESA), do not qualify as assistance dogs under the Equality Act 2010 and are therefore not permitted at our Events. Please note, guests attending our Events with an ESA will be refused entry.
Dress appropriately!: As part of the Lapland Experience at an Event may take place outside and in or near wooded areas, all those who attend are advised to dress appropriately including suitable footwear and be aware of the normal naturally occurring hazards in a wood/forest, such as exposed tree roots in pathways, low hanging branches, mud and puddles. All those who visit must take care to behave appropriately for the duration of their visit at the Event.
Event accessibility guide: We remind guests using mobility aids that the Event is based in a natural forest environment and therefore the terrain can often be uneven and some sections are steep to negotiate. We have produced a detailed accessibility guide available through customer services – please contact us by clicking here https://portal.laplanduk.co.uk/contact-us/. The guide and associated information provides a detailed and realistic view of the Lapland Experience and the services we offer those with accessible requirements. It is your responsibility or the relevant member of your party to read this information and make an informed decision as to whether the Lapland Experience is right for them. Please note, we are unable to offer wheelchair hire or offer refunds if someone has not checked the suitability of the Event for them or one of their party prior to attending.
Superstar Day: Our Superstar Day is specifically adapted for accessibility, offering additional support such as quieter performances, medics and British Sign Language interpreters, if required. Please do not book onto one of these days if you are not visiting with children or adults with special educational needs or disabilities.
Skating rink: If you choose to use the skating rink you should take care and show consideration for others and be aware of the dangers inherent in skating. You must adhere to rules set out by our management team relating to the skating rink and other areas, at all times. Without prejudice to Section 13, we will not be liable for any injuries sustained while skating or loss of or damage to clothing/other personal possessions unless such injuries or loss or damage occur as a result of our negligence.
All children must be accompanied on the ice skating rink by an Adult aged over eighteen (18) and remain under the control or supervision of such an Adult at all times. Using the skating rink is not recommended for those aged three (3) and under. Wheelchair users are welcome on the ice skating rink, but must be accompanied by another Adult aged over eighteen (18) in the group. Ice skates provided by LaplandUK must be worn on the ice-skating rink at all times by guests. Guests will be unable to enter the ice skating rink in their own footwear. Under no circumstances can ice skates be worn outside of the ice skating rink area into other areas of the Event.
Our management team reserves the right to remove those deemed a risk to the safety of others. All access to the skating rink is at the discretion of our management team.
Children to be accompanied at all times: Children must be accompanied at all times by at least one Adult aged over eighteen (18) in their party when attending an Event and must remain under their supervision at all times during their stay.
No storage facilities: Due to the nature of the experience, guests are unable to leave unattended luggage or other large personal possessions at any stage of the experience, all of which LaplandUK hold no responsibility for.
Be kind to our staff!: Our staff are very important to us. Please be respectful to them when visiting the Event. We do not tolerate any abusive, aggressive behaviour or forms of harassment. Any signs of these behaviours will result in you being removed from the Event without being readmitted on the same or potentially subsequent seasons.
No readmission: The Event is a one-way linear flow of guests. You will be unable to return to areas of the Lapland Experience you have previously passed through including the car park. In the event you, or your entire booking need to leave the Lapland Experience, we will be unable to readmit you into the event and will be unable to reschedule you to another date or time.
Dress rehearsal/Preview days: If you visit on one of these days, please remember that guests are visiting the Event as part of a discretionary employee benefit and must be known to a LaplandUK employee. Tickets are priced as low as possible to cover the cost of staffing. We ask that guests remain respectful and understanding of the team during their visit. Since this is a dress rehearsal/preview day, we will not be able to offer any form of refund or compensation for issues that may arise on the day.
5 Intellectual property, photography and video recording
Non-professional photography and video recording is permitted at the Event. All images and videos must be strictly for non-commercial use only.
We do not supervise the taking of non-professional photography and video recording at the Event and so we cannot be responsible if you or any of your fellow guests (including any Child or Infant) is featured in any other visitor’s photograph or recording which is subsequently published or distributed in any form, including via social media.
You should be aware that we may carry out photography and video recording while you are at the Event and we may wish to use certain images for promotional and related purposes, which may include your image or those in your party. If you do not wish to be recorded or filmed at the Event, please contact us before your visit by clicking here https://portal.laplanduk.co.uk/contact-us/ and make this known to staff at the Event.
Guests will have ‘official’ photographs taken during the Lapland Experience by our Event team. These can be collected and purchased at the end of the Lapland Experience. It is guests’ responsibility to collect these at the end of the Lapland Experience. We hold no responsibility for guests not collecting their photos or losing their photo information needed to redeem their photos. Guests must adhere to the ‘download’ period specified at the Event.
6 Elf Jingles
‘Elf Jingles’ are the official currency of LaplandUK and can be purchased in exchange for British pounds sterling at an exchange rate of 1 Elf Jingle = £1.
Customers who have pre-purchased Elf Jingles at the time of booking must provide proof of purchase on the day of the visit to collect pre-purchased Elf currency. Failure to produce proof of purchase will result in the loss of pre-ordered Elf currency. When you purchase Elf Jingles from us online, you have the right to cancel your order within fourteen (14) days from the day after we confirm your purchase, provided that you or others in your party have not used them at the Event. If you wish to cancel your order, please contact us by clicking here https://portal.laplanduk.co.uk/contact-us/.
Elf Jingles can be exchanged back into pounds sterling at the end of your experience before exiting the Event. Elf Jingles carry no residual value and cannot be exchanged for goods or services outside of the Event. Please note that any unused Elf Jingles must be exchanged before exiting the Event. We are unable to refund Elf Jingles once you have left the Event. The value of an Elf Jingle is not transferable to subsequent Events, either at the same location or at other Events, including in different years. It is prohibited to attempt to copy Elf Jingle currency. We accept no responsibility for loss of Elf Jingle currency. Lost Elf Jingles will not be replaced.
7 Price and payment
The price of entry to each Event will be as quoted by us from time to time at the time of the sale of your ticket to you and includes VAT unless otherwise specified.
We reserve the right to change prices at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Booking Confirmation, save in the case of an obvious error or mistake (as deemed by us acting reasonably). In the event of such an error or mistake, our determination and decision on how to proceed shall be final and no correspondence will be entered into. We reserve the right in our reasonable discretion to deem invalid any ticket which has been obtained in breach of these Terms or which has resulted from a printing, production or other error (including but not limited to any error(s) on the Website or the purchasing process).
Payment for all tickets to an Event must be by valid credit or debit card and are subject to such specific payment terms as we may notify to you when you make payment, including which cards we accept.

No refunds will be issued if you miss or are late for your scheduled visit for an Event without re-scheduling your visit in accordance with this Section 8.
We may refund you or issue with replacement tickets where there has been a customer service issue which we believe in our reasonable opinion warrants a full or partial refund. We may also refund you if we consider ourselves to be in material breach of these Terms or we are required to do so by law.

Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer. For more information about your statutory rights you may wish to contact Citizens Advice.

TicketPlan fees are non-refundable in all circumstances including being unable to attend due to our cancellation of the event. Such booking refund protection is a service offered by us and administered by TicketPlan on their behalf – TicketPlan is a separate company and is not within the Lapland group of companies. LaplandUK have no involvement in the refund process with TicketPlan and are unable to influence individual refund decisions by TicketPlan. TicketPlan Cancellation Protection can only be added to a booking at the point of purchase. TicketPlan Cancellation Protection cannot be added to a booking or tickets retrospectively.

Without prejudice to our other remedies, we reserve the right in the case of any serious or persistent breach of these Terms by you or those in your party to cancel and withdraw any ticket(s) issued to you. In the event of such cancellation, no refund will be paid and we reserve the right to exclude you from the Event and our future events.

14 Complaints
We accept that, despite every effort being made to ensure you have a trouble free, enjoyable experience at an Event, things may occasionally not go to plan. If you have a complaint in relation to an Event or the Lapland Experience, please inform our staff at the Location in the first instance. If your complaint is relating to something you have purchased at the Event (either retail items or food and beverage) and you are unsatisfied with the product, this must be resolved onsite at the event. We are unable to resolve product issues purchased at the event once you have left the event. If you have a complaint in relation to your tickets or attendance at our Event(s), please contact us by clicking here https://portal.laplanduk.co.uk/contact-us/ . We will attempt to resolve the problem as soon as possible. The Lead Booker only holds the authority to make a complaint relating to their booking.
When making a complaint by email, please ensure that you provide your booking name, reference number and date of visit. Please detail the nature of your feedback clearly and succinctly as this will help us to investigate and resolve the matter as quickly as possible. You should notify us in writing as soon as possible, and no later than thirty (30) days after your visit. This is to give us a reasonable opportunity to make appropriate enquiries and obtain any evidence which may be required. If you do not follow this procedure, it will make it harder for us to resolve your complaint and this could prejudice any claim that you wish to make. You must, in any event, notify us in writing of any claim within four (4) weeks of the Event ending.
Upon receipt of your complaint, we will send you an acknowledgement. If appropriate, your complaint will then be passed to our Guest Relations team. Should you be unsatisfied with the response from our Guest Relations team, you have the right to request one escalation. This escalation will be considered by a member of our Guest Relations Management team. Once escalated, the resulting decision of the Guest Relations Management team is final. If we are unable to resolve a complaint to your satisfaction, you may be able to pursue external options to resolve your claim.
15 Miscellaneous
If any of these Terms are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to their subject matter and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between us, whether oral or in writing. We both agree that, save as expressly set out herein, neither party will have any liability for any untrue statement or representation made by it (whether innocently or negligently) upon which the other party relied in entering into these Terms, unless such untrue statement or representation was made fraudulently.
These Terms will prevail over any inconsistent terms in any other agreement between us or referred to in correspondence or elsewhere and any conditions or stipulations to the contrary are hereby excluded and extinguished.
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these Terms. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree to this in advance in writing.
These Terms are between you and us. No other person will have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Subject to these terms, we do not need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end this contract or make any changes to these Terms.
If you breach these Terms and we take no action against you, we will not be considered to have given up our rights in respect of your breach. We reserve our rights and remedies in any situation where you breach these Terms.
