Actor/Actress

About Lapland

‘Lapland’ the experience is a 4-hour immersive experience of the Father Christmas story and secret world of the Elves, told through rich storytelling and interactive activities. We are a theatrical live event held in Ascot, honouring and celebrating the wonderment of childhood through our magical world.

17 years ago, Mike & Alison Battle created the event out of their own desire to take their children somewhere that would celebrate the pure, commercially unsullied, magic of Christmas. Now, with the help of Hollywood set-designers, West-End actors and more than a sprinkling of magic, the event is keeping the magic of Christmas alive for thousands of children every year.

Role – Magic Elf

Magic Elves are a highly interactive, guest-facing‘ in-world’ role and escort families to Father Christmas, sharing Lapland stories along the way! They also welcome families into Father Christmas’ woodland cabin, taking photographs during the visit, and ensuring that guests have the most magical of experiences.

Lapland is based in Whitmoor Forest, in Crown Estate on Swinley Road, Winkfield Row near Ascot SL5 8BD.
