A private dinner in the heart of the Secret Forest

Deep in the forests of Lapland stands a traditional wooden Kota, where a fire burns in the hearth and the elves are waiting to welcome your family.

Your evening begins with a journey into Santa Claus Secret Forest. Follow the elves through the trees to the warmth of the Kota, where lanterns glow and the scent of woodsmoke fills the air.

Inside, settle around the fire for a three-course Lappish dinner, prepared with fresh Arctic ingredients sourced from local producers. The dishes draw on the flavours and traditions of Lapland, while the elves share stories from their world.

You can hear the forest, feel the calm and enjoy a little of the traditional Lappish way of life. In winter, snow blankets the trees outside. Come summer, the forest is filled with the light of the midnight sun. Inside the Kota, the fire is always burning, and the evening is yours to enjoy together, away from the crowds and everyday distractions.
