January is a time when we all tend to think about the year ahead – what we hope to achieve, what we’ll tick off our to-do list, where we’ll be this time next year. We’ve been asking the same questions here at Center Parcs, and it’s got us all excited about the wonderful things we’re working on in 2016.
As an Under the Treetops reader, you get to know the latest news first, so here’s your exclusive look at what’s coming up at Center Parcs in the first half of this year…*
We’re adding activities
There are up to 200 indoor and outdoor activities to try during your Center Parcs break, with something to suit all ages, tastes and abilities. But this year we’re expanding the offering for our littlest guests with some new and innovative activities (which, to be honest, we’re slightly devastated we can’t try ourselves).
We’ll be bringing you more information of these – including photos and the official names – as they’re developed, but here’s a sneak peak at what they’ll involve…
What: An adventure for mini motorists
Where: Woburn Forest, Sherwood Forest, Longleat Forest
When: Before summer at Sherwood Forest and by the end of the year at Longleat Forest and Woburn Forest
Tell me more: This not-to-be-missed experience offers little ones their own ‘off road driving’ experience in a miniature 4×4. With mum or dad nearby, this parent-and-child activity is great for developing confidence, as little ones from the age of three control their own vehicle (completely safely, of course) around our track.
What: A miniature sea voyage
Where: Elveden Forest
When: Before summer
Tell me more: Under 5s can choose their own trusty vessel from our brand new fleet of specially designed boats and find their sea legs on the lake. This is a parent-accompanied activity where little ones can have fun steering a boat on their own aquatic adventure.
What: Mini Trek
Where: Whinfell Forest
When: Before summer
Tell me more: A popular parent-and-child activity currently available at Sherwood Forest and Longleat Forest, Mini Trek allows your little one to strap into a harness and explore our slightly elevated course with platforms, bridges and jumps, all while you’re by their side to guide them along. It’s a great first taste of our aerial activities, and we’re excited to extend it to Whinfell Forest.
What: Street Karts
Where: Elveden Forest
When: Before summer
Tell me more: In this fun session, you’ll learn how to confidently steer and pedal these karts which allow you to build up high speeds while also tightly manoeuvring around corners on our purpose-built track. This popular session is currently available at Whinfell Forest.
Our latest Lodges
It’s not just our activities getting a makeover, we’re also reinvesting in our accommodation, upgrading some existing Lodges across our Villages and building some sparkling new ones.
Later this year, we’re very excited to welcome our luxury Treehouses to Elveden Forest for the first time. The Treehouses, which feature at Sherwood Forest and Longleat Forest, are the height of comfort, nestled away in the privacy of the forest canopy. Each two-storey, four-bedroom Treehouse include a private hot tub, Physiotherm room and games den. Look out for udpates and photographs of how the build is going over the next few months. Take a tour of the Treehouses at Elveden Forest.
At Longleat Forest, the Pinewood Apartments will have a complete makeover, modernising the interiors and updating the appliances. This is due to be complete by the end of April.
Food’s up
In 2015, we developed and launched menus in Huck’s American Bar and Grill, Dining In and The Pancake House. Since October, we’ve been working on revitalising the menu at Rajinda Pradesh. We’ve tweaked some of your favourites to make them even better, and we’re adding some delicious new additions. We’ve also redeveloped the children’s menu after a tasting panel with real Center Parcs families. The new menu is set to launch on all Villages at the end of February and we’ll be bringing you sneak previews of it here next month.
The Center Parcs gastro pubs, Grand Café at Longleat Forest and The Lakeside Inn at Whinfell Forest are next on our list. We’ll be revisiting those menus in the spring to see where we can make them even more tempting.
…Not forgetting Ireland!
We’re currently waiting for a decision on our planning permission application. If successful, we’ll bring you all the latest photos and news on the development of Center Parcs Longford Forest, right here on Under the Treetops.
