Families across the UK are in for a magical festive treat this season as Gulliver’s Theme Park Resorts host their upcoming Christmas celebrations, set to run on selected dates from 14th November through to 24th December 2026.
Gulliver’s World in Warrington, Gulliver’s Land in Milton Keynes, and Gulliver’s Valley in Rotherham will all be transformed into winter wonderlands, offering an array of seasonal experiences, rides, and activities tailored for families.
Magical Christmas Attractions and Packages
Each of the three resorts will feature a varied selection of holiday packages designed to suit different family preferences. Experiences on offer include:
- Santa’s Grotto and Elf Workshop: Children can embark on a magical trip to meet Santa, complete with a complimentary present and the opportunity to choose their own gift in the Elf Workshop.
- Santa’s Enchanted Elevator: Guests can experience a magical virtual flight to the North Pole, soaring through snowy skies before landing right next to Santa’s Grotto.
- Special Event Packages: Options range from the ‘Smasher’ package (featuring selected Christmas rides, entry to Santa’s Grotto, and a gift) to the ‘Festive Breakfast’ and ‘Cracker’ packages, which incorporate festive dining. Gulliver’s World and Gulliver’s Valley will also offer off-peak package options.
- ‘Twinkle’ Package: Includes full entry to the returning Land of Lights Lantern Festival alongside resort festivities.
The Return of Land of Lights
The Land of Lights Lantern Festival is returning to all three Gulliver’s locations this winter. The experience features a giant one-mile illuminated trail showcasing larger-than-life lantern displays, complemented by music, street food, and family entertainment.
Julie Dalton, Managing Director at Gulliver’s Theme Park Resorts, shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming season:
"We’ve worked closely with Santa – and his elves, of course – to make sure everything is just right for families this year, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone for a wonderful Gulliver’s experience this Christmas.
"There will be so much happening at each of the three resorts, we hope everyone has an amazing visit that will linger long in the memory. We always try to keep our ticket prices as low as possible to make it easier on families at Christmas, which is already such an expensive time of the year.
"The return of Land of Lights to each resort is also fantastic – we get such good feedback about the festival and it brings an added element for our guests to enjoy."
Festive Sleepovers and Special Offers
For families looking to extend their stay, Santa Sleepovers are available in themed accommodation across the resorts:
- Gulliver’s Land: Features Princess Suites, Unicorn lodges, Dinosaur lodges, and Woodland Lodges.
- Gulliver’s Valley: Features Pirate Lodges, Captain’s Dens, and Lost World Lodges.
To mark the launch, Gulliver’s is hosting a Christmas 2026 sale offering savings of up to 25% on selected Christmas packages and discounted festive sleepover bookings across all three resorts.
