About this experience
Father Christmas and his team of industrious Elves have set up camp at the Eden Project and are making their final preparations for Christmas. In our biggest immersive Father Christmas experience ever, prepare for enchantment, theatre, entertainment and unexpected delight for the whole family.
You will be welcomed into the vault of Christmas magic – a treasure trove brimming with festive wonder and timeless traditions – for a special behind-the-scenes glimpse into the heart of the Christmas spirit.
As part of this unforgettable 45-minute experience, each child will be given the chance to meet Father Christmas and leave with a precious keepsake to take home.
How to book
To visit Father Christmas at the Eden Project, everyone – both children and adults – will need a pre-booked ticket for the experience, along with a valid form of Eden admission (such as an Annual or Locals’ Pass, or Membership). Eden Project Members don’t need to book general admission, but still need to purchase a Father Christmas ticket.
If you’re an existing Pass holder, please remember to pre-book your Eden Project entry time slot at least 30 minutes before your Father Christmas session. This will give you plenty of time to make your way to his cosy camp.
Our Father Christmas experience is always in high demand and tickets do sell out quickly, so we encourage booking early to secure your spot. Children must be accompanied, with a maximum of four children per adult.
Relaxed sessions
6, 14, 15, 19 and 23 December 2025
We are offering relaxed Father Christmas sessions for those who’d benefit from an environment with fewer people, and more chance to explore at your own pace. Relaxed sessions are open to all but are designed with those with autism, sensory or communication needs in mind.
Save with a Locals' Pass
If you are a resident of Cornwall or Devon, save up to 35% on your Eden admission ticket, giving you unlimited days out for a whole year from only £45 for a family, or £25 for an adult.
