*****************************************   Santa's grotto / Lapland village christmas theme park:

Welcome to Lapland New ForestMaking Christmas dreams come true for children of all ages; Lapland New Forest is the seasonal themed event to see in the south east of England ... ... where, arriving at our free car par, you will be greeted by a woodland elf who is waiting to show you the secret and breath-taking Tunnel of Light, which twists through the natural habitat of spruce and conifer trees towards Santa's village ...

... peer through the tunnel windows and you might even see polar bears and red deer hiding deep in the snowy woods!

Before stepping through into the winter wonderland, young children collect their magic dust, which then goes into their envelope with their christmas list ready for the Polar Post Office.Then you enter the amazing frozen world of Lapland village ... ... the beautiful 'snow' covered log cabins surround the wonderful ice rink ... each cabin is busy with the helpers preparing for christmas ... between each cabin are Santa's live animals: ranging from geese to baby ostriches, husky team to reindeer - all resting before the big day ahead.

Near the ice rink and is the refreshment area serving delicious hot and cold seasonal food for all ... and it's around here, so we are told, you will find Shamus the Elf. He is one of the most important helpers as he is the only one who can lead you to Father Christmas ...

... and He is waiting to give all the young children their chosen gift.*** *** ***

To appreciate this amazing experience means that you must have time and space to take it all in. The attention to detail of our theme park will truly wow you!

... we therefore have to limit the amount of visitors each day, so early booking is highly recommended.

ADVANCE NOTICE: Three weekends have quickly sold out - Santa will attempt to expand his village, but it's advisable if you secure your visit to wonderland soon.

About a Winter WonderlandCreating a winter wonderland really does take a lot of care and expertise. Artistic attention to detail is crucial to creating Santa's frozen arctic world just five miles north of Bournemouth.

For this reason we have bought in many specialists and showmen, including the multi award-winning Hollywood film and tv special fx's experts who made the awesome winter scenes in films such as:

Archangel

Gladiators

Vertical Limit

The Day After Tomorrow

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone

Band of Brothers

Dr Who and more ...With the Snow Business ice experts on board, we can assure you of an absolutely magical scene ... why, just look

how real and cold the 'snow' appears to be ...

After your journey through the beautiful Tunnel of Light where you post your christmas wish to the North Pole Post Office, you will enter the incredibly beautiful 'frozen' world of Lapland village, with it's snowy log cabins* and fantastic ice rink that Santa brought along for everyone to play on ...

Inside the real log cabins you will find helper elves busy with interesting Christmas preparations and other activities that you can either join in or learn all about:

Toy making Dolls House making

Rocking Chair making

Gingerbread decorating

Face Painting

Sled dog running and adventure ... & more ...

Outside the log cabins you will find Santa's many beautiful animal helpers:

Geese, giant rabbits, pygmy goats, the best looking donkeys, sheep, turkeys, an American and European award-winning 20x strong Siberian husky team (including two Iditarod world champion dogs and 6 month pups) ... and of course, the famous reindeer ...

... why, even the baby ostriches are here to help Santa ... they are the cutest creatures ever ... and can the children find anything for them to eat?

Outside you will also find the Play Park, where it is very possible that you will see the Juggler, the Magician and Balloon Making Man walking about the village ...

... they might be around the refreshment area that serves various delicious Seasonal Foods, such as roasted chestnuts and mulled wine. If you have a sweet tooth you may, or may not, want to wonder by the chocolate fountain ...

... and then there's the bustling Christmas Market with it's stalls ranging from xmas paper to xmas trees, for the mums and dads to discover ...

But do remember at some point during your 4-6 hour day to seek out Shamus the Elf, as only he can lead you to Father Christmas, who is waiting to give all the under 12's their top quality personal present.

A Sneak Peek at Christmas ...As our show is being staged for the first time our website can only begin to hint at the wonder of our winterland to be. Next year's online presentation will be a total treat to view and we really do wish that we could show you just how incredibly spectacular Lapland New Forest will look at night.

With full planning permission granted by East Dorset County Council, we are investing substantially in our theme park and it's many entertainments to make completely sure that you are totally satisfied with your visit.We have deliberately under-priced the park (yes, we believe you'll agree that the experience could be priced higher) as we are as tired as any and everyone with not often receiving good service and value for money and in this sad time of mismanaged economy, gloomy broadcast recession and unending price increases et al - we are especially proud to be constructing a truly magical and affordable event that will not only employ many people, but will help warm 1000's of young and grown-up visitor's hearts for Christmas and the New Year 2009.

So (for now) our gallery can only suggest at how much fun you will have with us:

Yes, that's all artificial snow!

But do rest assured that Santa's 20 x 15 metre ice rink is slippery and real ... made even more awesome by it's fabulous integral disco lighting system ...

Here are some of the Siberian husky dogs in competition / training for Christmas ...

... and here is the beautiful carousel and bumper cars, which will be with other fairground rides and attractions such as: Electric Reindeer Ride, the Gold Mine Runaway Train, Inflatable Slide, Bungy Jump Trampolines and Lapland games ...
