The Newt Members can visit Eden for free all year round, but must show proof of valid membership. 

You must pre-book a timed entry slot* on the day of your visit to guarantee entry, and aim to arrive within 30 minutes of that time. You do not need to book a separate time slot for the Christmas Lights. Last entry to the Eden Project is 90 minutes before we close, which is 6.30pm on Christmas Lights evenings. You can check our opening times here.

If you have have a Christmas Lights Pass, or a ticket that includes the Christmas Lights (check if your ticket type includes the Christmas Lights here) you can access the Biomes anytime between 4–8.30pm. If you’ve already arrived earlier in the day, there’s no need to leave and re-enter Eden. Last entry to the Biomes is 8pm on these evenings before they close at 8.30pm. We recommend allowing at least 1.5 hours to explore both Biomes.

If you have booked Father Christmas tickets or ice skating, make sure you book your timed entry slot at least 30 minutes before it starts, to allow time to make your way from the Visitor Centre to the experience.
