Father Christmas at the Eden Project

Tickets for 2026 have not been released yet, but tickets in 2025 cost £16 for anyone aged 12+ months. Sign up to find out 2026's prices when they are released. Once on sale, tickets must be pre-booked for all children and adults attending the experience. Everyone in your group must also have a valid form of Eden admission (such as an Annual or Locals’ Pass or Eden Project Membership).

Unless you are a Member or Patron, you must also pre-book a timed entry slot to the Eden Project for everyone in your party (including under-fives and carers) which is at least 30 minutes earlier than the start of your experience.

Carers and babies under 12 months of age are free of charge for entry to the Father Christmas experience, but will still require a pre-booked timed entry slot.

All children must be accompanied by an adult, with a maximum of four children per adult. Adult tickets cannot be exchanged or used as entry for a child.

The experience lasts around 30-40 minutes, and starts promptly. We ask that you arrive five minutes before the start of the experience to allow time to be seated. 

Make sure you book your Eden Project timed-entry at least 30 minutes before your Father Christmas experience starts to allow time to make your way from the Visitor Centre to the experience. 

Yes – this experience is fully accessible. 

To help us provide you with the best possible experience, if you or your child have access needs, please get in contact with us when booking your tickets, so we can make sure you are comfortable and if you have a wheelchair, we can reserve you a great spot ahead of time. Please contact Guest Services on 01726 811972 (Mon–Fri: 9.30am – 4.30pm; Sat–Sun: 10am – 2pm) or email guestservices@edenproject.com.

If your child would benefit from a more relaxed Father Christmas experience designed specifically for children with autism or other sensory and communication needs, we run special relaxed sessions. These sessions are quieter, with fewer people in each performance. We reduce the lights and sound, and you can explore Father Christmas's camp at your own pace.

Yes, all children must be accompanied by an adult, with a maximum of four children per adult.
