Members' and Patrons' priority booking: Christmas at the Eden Project
Priority booking for Eden Project Members and Patrons has now ended and tickets for Christmas at the Eden Project are now on general sale.
As an Eden Project Member you don't need to pre-book timed entry to visit Eden during the day. However our Christmas Lights Experience, Father Christmas, Ice Skating and Mediterranean Biome Christmas Lunches require separate pre-booked tickets.
Christmas Lights Experience (selected dates: 21 Nov–4 Jan)
£5.50 per person (age 5+)
As daylight fades, the Eden Project will transform into a wonderland of sparkling lights, vibrant colour, and enchanting music. Meander through our glowing Biomes along twinkling pathways, and lose yourself in this other-worldly spectacle. The Rainforest will shimmer with splendour and delight the senses, and the Mediterranean will be filled with festive cheer, in our all-new Christmas Lights Experience.
On Christmas Lights Experience days, the Biomes close at 3.15pm and reopen from 4–8pm for ticket-holders only.
Father Christmas Experience (selected dates: 22 Nov–24 Dec)
£16 per person (age 1+)
Get ready for an unforgettable encounter with Father Christmas and his cheeky Elves this festive season, as they take you on a magical journey. This brand-new, 45-minute immersive experience is our biggest yet, and packed with storytelling, seasonal wonder, and joyful surprises!
Our Father Christmas experience is extremely popular and tickets sell out fast, so we recommend booking as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Ice skating (from 18 October)
Save 10% as a Member on general skating sessions: £10.80 per adult (16+) / £8.10 per child (18+ months) / £30.60 per family (4 people)
Add an extra bit of sparkle to your Christmas visit and take a spin on our glittering indoor ice rink, with sessions to suit all ages.
Mediterranean Biome Christmas Lunch (selected Thursdays)

Celebrate the season with a luxury three-course Cornish Christmas lunch at the Eden Project, surrounded by the tranquil gardens of our iconic Mediterranean Biome. Bringing together the best local flavours, a spectacular setting and the magic of Christmas, this is a dining experience to remember. These exclusive lunches are served every Thursday from 27 November to 18 December.
