Christmas is now in full swing at the Eden Project as the home of the Biomes boasts more festive lights than ever before and an all-new Father Christmas show. 

On select dates from now until January 5, guests will discover the magic of the season with an enchanting array of experiences for the whole family, including extended opening into the evening to take in the twinkling light displays throughout the gardens and Biomes. 

Father Christmas and his merry elves are back with an unforgettable musical experience, followed by a chance to meet the man himself and post a special letter to the North Pole before receiving a very special gift.  

The Biomes are once again bursting with Christmas sparkle, with the shimmering Mediterranean Biome getting the party started with upbeat festive cheer, building up to a magnificent music and light show every 30 minutes throughout the evening.  

The Rainforest Biome entices with jaw-dropping illuminations and shimmering displays revealed around every corner, all backed by a powerful and emotive soundscape. 

The Outdoor Gardens are awash with captivating and playful installations that wind among the crisp winter garden, while the sound of the fairground carousel and Cornwall’s only glittering ice rink beckon. 


Simon Townsend, the Eden Project’s general manager said: "The Eden Project at Christmas is such a unique experience. It totally transforms into this winter wonderland. As well as our amazing Father Christmas show, we’ve got Christmas crafts, an incredible festive menu and a local choir singing on select dates.  

“We know it’s been a tough year for everyone, so we've pulled out all the stops to make this Christmas experience a really special day and evening out. We can’t wait for our guests to see all that we’ve got in store.” 

The Eden Project’s new locals’ pass is now available all year round and entitles residents of Devon and Cornwall to unlimited entry for a year for a reduced admission of just £23 per adult and £10 per child. Universal, Pension and Legacy Credit admission is available for £5 for adults and £1 per child.  

Visitors to the Eden Project are supporting its charitable projects, which reconnect people with nature across the UK and around the world, including creating swathes of wildflower corridors and empowering communities to regenerate, protect and benefit from green spaces.
