Christmas Holidays

Christmas is a magical time of year for the whole family and when you take a Christmas break at Center Parcs you can be sure that your entire family will have a fantastic time. For those staying at Whinfell Forest, the village is transformed into the complete Lapland experience including Santa's Grotto located right at the heart of the village. Experience horse and carriage rides and watch amazing festive shows in the Green Room.

A holiday at Center Parcs at any time of year is a brilliant experience, but none more so at Christmas when Lapland is transported direct to the Center Parcs Holiday Villages at Sherwood Forest, Elveden Forest and Longleat Forest . You can visit Santa's Workshop, enjoy great horse and carriage rides and so much more. There will also be a street theatre with Christmas themed roving entertainers, to make for a magical atmosphere. Christmas wouldn't be the same without a pantomime, so make sure you catch the one at Center Parcs- a Christmas holidays event the whole family will enjoy.

When you're staying at Center Parcs at Christmas time, don't forget that there's much more to do than just take part in the Christmas festivities, as all the normal activities and sports are still available. Discover something completely new, such as horse riding or pony trekking, be dazzled by the Birds of Prey Experience or go ballistic in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise. Perhaps you want to do something you already enjoy, such as tennis or squash, or treat yourself with fine dining at one of the great restaurants - the choice is completely yours. 

After all the bedlam of Christmas shopping etc, you'll be looking forward to a rest, so why not have a Christmas Holiday at Center Parcs where the peace and tranquillity of the forest will revitalise you. To really complete your holiday, visit the Aqua Sana Spa and enjoy the various treatments available and completely recharge your batteries ready for the New Year!
