Too soon to start thinking about Christmas? Not so, according to Lapland UK. The winter wonderland has announced it is putting its 2024 tickets on sale soon.

This immersive experience involves journeying through an Enchanted Forest to a magical portal that transports you into the Elven World. Once there, you'll make a toy for Father Christmas’ Sleigh in the Toy Factory, decorate gingerbread with Mother Christmas, go ice-skating and enjoy a personalised visit with Father Christmas.

Details of the ticket release date is kept under wraps as key dates tend to sell out way before the run-up to Christmas. So, the only way to find out normally is to sign up for email newsletters.

We signed up and were excited to receive a message revealing the date this year's tickets will go on sale. Dates and prices will be confirmed for this year's event on Thursday, March 14 and tickets are going on sale on Monday March 18.

A spokesman emailed: “We are thrilled to confirm tickets for Lapland 2024 will be going on sale at midday on Monday 18th March. All dates and prices will be confirmed this Thursday 14th March. We truly cannot wait to make treasured memories together this Christmas."

The trailer shares a message from Santa: “In the depths of the enchanted forest, woodland elves hide, guarding a secret doorway to another world ... the world of the elves! We discovered their magical world and the elves welcomed us. Now every Christmas, I invite small folk to step into Lapland! We can’t wait to meet you."
