SUPERSTAR DAYS FOR SUPER CHILDREN AND SUPER ADULTS

Christmas Magic For Everyone

Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th December 2011.
8th December 11:15am tour will be signed.

AtLaplandUK we recognize that sadly not all our visitors are able bodied with many having special needs.

Although we are delighted to annually welcome many visitors with special needs, we are inundated every year with requests for children with significant challenges, both physical and mental, which has inspired us to introduce 'Superstar days'.

Superstar days are days that have been especially tailored and subsidized by LaplandUK to support the special needs community, which we hope will enable more children to experience the magic of Father Christmas.

We are very excited about 'Superstar Days' at LaplandUK which we believe are the first tailored days of their type in the UK.

Our mission is to bring 'Christmas magic for everyone' so we hope through the introduction of these days to welcome many 'Superstars' to LaplandUK this Christmas.

"In the past few years we have used LaplandUK for children who are not able to travel out of the country and the wishes have been a great success!"
Jo Micklewright, Head of Wish Granting, Make-a-Wish Foundation
