Visitor review
“ We absolutely LOVED this year’s Santa Experience at Eden. Our three children were completely captivated... my 9 year old said it was the best visit she’s ever had to Father Christmas. ”
How to book
Tickets are not on sale yet for 2026's experience but will be coming soon. Sign up to hear as soon as they go on sale.
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
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.
