Meet the ultimate LaplandUK superfan family! Kerrie Thomas and her family from Rassau, Gwent, have been making magical memories for over a decade, visiting an astounding 24 times since their first trip in 2014. For Kerrie, it’s not just a holiday tradition—it’s a way of life. She’s even got a tattoo dedicated to their favourite festive destination!
Kerrie’s daughter, Amy, who has complex needs, finds LaplandUK a truly welcoming space—a rare gem where acceptance is the norm, judgement is absent, and every visit is flooded with joy. With her best friend Sheri, Kerrie marked this love with matching tattoos that say, “To wish is to believe,” alongside the coordinates of their beloved Christmas escape.
This enchanting park offers an escape from everyday life and has become Amy’s happy place. She eagerly counts down the days to each visit, collecting cherished memories and cuddly huskies along the way. And it’s not just the magical surroundings Amy loves—meeting Father Christmas gets a rave review every time!
Kerrie and her husband Nigel even raised £15,000 to share this magic with 111 children from Amy’s school, because they knew how much it meant to their daughter and wanted others to experience the wonder too. From sponsored walks to cake sales, the community came together in beautiful ways to make it happen.
The LaplandUK visits have brought more than just festive joy; they’ve fostered friendships that Kerrie treasures daily, proving that this isn’t just a Christmas trip—it’s a heartwarming community experience. As the family gears up for their 25th trip, they look forward to collecting another husky to add to their growing collection of magical memories. 🐾🎅
LaplandUK has been a haven of inclusivity and happiness for the Thomas family, and with Kerrie’s tattoo as a testament, their love for this winter wonderland is one that truly lasts forever. ✨💫
