Tickets to the new northern version of Christmas experience LaplandUK will go on sale next week, organisers have announced.
The immersive experience featuring West End actors has become a major success since being launched in 2007 and last year the 160,000 tickets for its main site in Ascot on the outskirts of London sold out in hours after a record-breaking 300,000 people applied for them.
A spokesperson said: “Representing a total demand for 1.2 million tickets, the event sold out of the 160,000 available in less than three hours, in a ticket drop to rival Glastonbury.”
The success has led to the launch of a second site this year, with LaplandUK Manchester being based at Capesthorne Hall in Cheshire.
Organisers have now announced that tickets for both sites will go on sale next Monday, March 31, with the ticket waiting room opening at 10am and booking opening from midday.
LaplandUK will run from November 8 to December 24 and tickets will cost between £60 and £195, with higher prices at weekends and closer to Christmas.

00:00Now we might only be in March but it's time to start thinking about Christmas
00:05especially if you are interested in taking your children to Lapland UK this
00:10year. It's coming to the north for the first time, they've got a big site down
00:14in Ascot near London that's been really popular over the years, 160,000
00:19tickets sold out in just three hours last year for the experience and they're
00:24bringing it up north to Manchester or Cheshire to be more precise this
00:29Christmas too. Tickets are going on sale from March the 31st, you have to
00:35basically join a waiting room at 10 o'clock on the day and then from noon
00:38you should be able to book on to a spot in either Manchester or Ascot and
00:44tickets cost between £60 and £195. A lot of money but people clearly
00:50think it's worth it given the success of the Ascot site, it involves West End
00:54performers, basically a four and a half hour experience and hopefully for your
00:59young children, a lifetime of memories, it'll be really interesting to see how
01:02the ticket sales go in the north and whether people who previously thought
01:06it might be too far to travel down to Ascot will be trying to snap up those
01:11tickets themselves this year.
