The ‘biggest play structure on Earth’ has just opened in the UK – and it celebrates Christmas all year round. The attraction, named Lilidorei, is billed as a fairytale wonderland featuring elves, dwarves, pixies and fairies, and it cost a whopping £15.5 million to build.
The structure is in the grounds of the Alnwick Garden, Northumberland, which is home to more than 1,300 Nordic Christmas trees. Children are encouraged to let their imagination run wild while exploring the fairyland of grottoes and goblin lairs, which also features climbing walls, mazes, zip lines, giant slides and more.
The attraction is the brainchild of Jane Percy, the Duchess of Northumberland, who helped to transform the Alnwick Garden into a location used in the Harry Potter films. Lilidorei has aims to attract around 280,000 visitors to Northumberland each year, and will be open 365 days a year.
Each session at Lilidorei lasts two hours 45 minutes and guests can book one of three slots between 9am and 7pm each day. Tickets for children aged under 16 years start from £16.50 and adult tickets start from £13.20, while children aged under two years go free. Find out more and book here.
