Winter Wonderland is on its way
It’s just two weeks until Winter Wonderland sweeps across all our villages and takes you to a place of magic and memories with your family. Starting on Friday 9 November (because, why not? It’s nearly Christmas, so let’s celebrate early!) – here’s a sneak peek into what makes Winter Wonderland so special…
Family adventures
All year round, Center Parcs is home to thrilling, adventurous and creative activities. But we have a renewed selection of festive activities just for Winter Wonderland. The choice is all yours, do a lot or a little but there’s an activity for everyone this Winter Wonderland.
Treat yourself – it’s Christmas
Winter Wonderland is coming, and what comes with winter? Food, glorious food! Whether it’s a festive carvery for your family to tuck into or a sweet treat, we have something for everyone, even the fussiest of eaters. It’s time for the red cups at Starbucks so drink up the festive choices from Gingerbread Latte to a Fudge Hot Chocolate. Prefer home cooking? Head to ParcMarket to purchase all the trimmings and dine in your lodge.
White Christmas
We ignore the Met Office and always forecast snow, guaranteeing you that white Christmas you’ve always been promised. Every village is transformed with a crisp white, blanket of glimmering snow – that’s when you know it’s definitely Winter Wonderland.
Start the festivities with a bang
At all our villages, Winter Wonderland is joined by a spectacular fireworks or pyrotechnic display. Twice a week on the run-up to the big day, be sure to head to the best viewing points and watch the incredible display light up the sky.
The atmosphere
The hub of Winter Wonderland has to be Santa’s Woodland Village, and whether you’ve booked a visit with the big man himself or just want to get into the Christmas spirit, it’s the perfect place. Pop into the Christmas Shop to purchase a decoration for your tree or post your letter to Santa, just be sure to visit Santa’s Woodland Village for everything festive.
Nutmeg has a little sister
The star of Winter Wonderland – Nutmeg the reindeer – is back for 2018 – with a new sister, Clove. As well as our enchanting hardback children’s book that tells the story of their adventures, you can also take them home in the form of a special edition soft toy, a Christmas bauble, or even a piece of personalised pottery that you can hand-paint in the studio. Of course, don’t forget to visit the magical Nutmeg sculpture, which you can bring to life via a tap of your smartphone to take a selfie with the little reindeer.
Experience Winter Wonderland for yourself – book now to get into the festive spirit.

Musicalweekend op Center Parcs Erperheide december 2018
The perfect October half term break
Its that time of the year again where the forest is transformed from green to golden and your wellies and woolly hats make an appearance. With plenty of activities to do at Center Parcs, you won’t struggle to keep your little ones entertained. Here is what you could get up to this October half-term to have a memorable break away in the forest.
French inspired breakfast
Start your day off the right way and head to Café Rouge across all five villages for breakfast the whole family can enjoy. The little ones can enjoy one of the mini cooked breakfasts – the ‘Petite English’ or ‘Petite Veggie’, perfectly portioned for smaller appetites. While the adults can choose from a tasty selection of cooked breakfasts like the classic Rouge Breakfast with free-range eggs, Cumberland sausage, cured bacon, beans, mushroom, tomato and sourdough toast. Perfect fuel for a fun-filled day of activities.
Make a splash
At the centre of every village visit our Subtropical Swimming Paradise and warm up this October half-term in our 29.5C incredible indoor water park. Whatever the weather is up to outside, you can enjoy a slice of summer inside. With child-friendly pools and adventurous slides, from the Wild Water Rapids to our wave pool, your children will be entertained for hours. While you can enjoy some relaxation time in the whirlpool.
Indoor Climbing Adventure
Do you and your little ones have a head for heights? Escape the cold and challenge yourselves as a family to try something new together. For your children who are a minimum of 4 years and a height of 1.1 meters, they can climb their way to the top of our colourful indoor climbing adventure walls. Watch them face their fears and have an adrenaline rush they will never forget.
Dine In
After a long day of family activities sometimes you don’t fancy cooking, but don’t want to dress up and go out either. Don’t worry we have the perfect option! Pop over to our Dining In store across all five villages and our expert chefs can cook you a mouth-watering takeaway from a range of international cuisines, or even make a delivery to your lodge for a small charge. It is the perfect hassle-free way to unwind after a busy day.
Ten Pin Bowling
For an evening activity fun for the whole family, head down to our Ten Pin Bowling lanes and get your competitive streak out. For your little ones we have bumper and ramps, they can use to perfect their bowling techniques. Why not book out a lane and have a family bowling tournament while relaxing with some snacks and drinks?

Take a look inside the new Rajinda Pradesh menu
We have been counting down the days to our new Rajinda Pradesh menu landing in our restaurants across all five UK villages and will be introduced to our newest village in Ireland in 2019.
The home of Indian food at Center Parcs, Rajinda Pradesh has seen the move away from a completely Indian influenced menu to now include a more diverse fusion of Asian flavours. With dishes from Malaysia, Indonesia, Southern India and Thailand we have something the whole family will enjoy.
Feast your eyes on our Malaysian Beef Rendang featuring four hours slow braised beef, lightly shredded with a coconut, lemongrass and chilli sauce served with aromatic rice. Or try our delicious Thai Green Curry, a family favourite, made with a choice of chicken or prawn. Infused with chillies, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce and coconut to create a nice spicy sauce ensured to fill you up for your evening in the forest.
But don’t worry, both our new and old dishes continue to use traditional cooking methods and flavours, balancing the authentic flavours with a modern approach to the presentation of our dishes. With our Baked Chicken Mehra it is certain to get your taste buds tingling with oven baked chicken thighs in a fiery tomato sauce.
When developing the new dishes, we took importance in considering our guests with allergy and dietary requirements, to provide them with mouth-watering options to suit their needs. For our plant-based guests, try our Vegan Asian mixed platter, starring a variety of Asian starters, from steamed vegetable gyoza to crispy vegetable spring rolls.
For a hassle-free dinner time enjoy The Rajinda Experience Banquet. Tuck into a poppadum platter to share, followed by a starter platter with some of your favourites, including crispy onion bhajis. Then move to a delicious Rajinda curry from our range of Indian dishes and either rice or naan to share. Lastly, wash it all down with your choice of drink from either a soft drink, a bottle of Cobra or a glass of house wine, all for only £25 per person. Enough to satisfy you all night.
Book your Rajinda Experience Banquet, to enjoy our new eastern inspired menu at your next Center Parcs break.

Meet Clove, Nutmeg’s little sister
Winter Wonderland this year has a new character, Clove in our 2018 Christmas children’s book: Nutmeg’s Little Sister.
Following on from our original story, Nutmeg’s Antlers, our new adventure captures Nutmeg navigating his way through the forest but this time with the addition of his little sister Clove. Unlike Nutmeg, Clove is a more gentle and wary reindeer who wants to play with Nutmeg and all his friends. Throughout the book we see Clove trying to keep up with her older brother and pushing herself to be brave in a new environment, as they both learn the importance of family.
Nutmeg’s Little Sister is available to buy from The Store Room, ParcMarket and Santa’s Woodland Workshop for the duration of Winter Wonderland on all five villages.
Purchase one of our adorable Nutmeg or Clove soft toys, as a memento of your Winter Wonderland break. Or you can log on to your account to pre-order both the book or soft toy which will be waiting for you in your accommodation for when you arrive at Center Parcs.
But that’s not all! Nutmeg is being brought to life on our villages in an enchanting sculpture. With your smartphone and the Zapper app (available on Apple and Android), watch Nutmeg come to life with virtual reality, to join your little ones in a photo they will never forget.
If that’s not enough, the Pottery Painting Studio is offering Clove and Nutmeg pottery bisques to paint for an afternoon of fun. Or take home a memento to display around your home over the Christmas period by purchasing a hand painted 2018 Nutmeg and Clove Winter Wonderland bauble, available to buy whilst on your break.
Haven’t booked your Winter Wonderland break yet? There is still time! Book now.

Christmas and New Year at Center Parcs
New Center Parcs research has revealed that, although 90% of people said they like spending time with their families, more than a third of us (38%) say it’s just too difficult to regularly meet up. Whether it’s Christmas or New Year, Center Parcs makes spending time with the ones you love stress-free so you can enjoy every moment together.
Can Christmas be hassle-free?
Of those surveyed, 41% said they didn’t want to host Christmas due to the lack of space in their home and the stress and effort involved. The great news is, at Center Parcs you don’t need to worry about cooking or washing up; you can dine in some of our restaurants for a Christmas Day lunch or carvery.
A New Year’s resolution
If you’re spending Christmas at home, by New Year you’ll be ready to get away from washing endless pots and constantly tidying away all of the new toys. Bring in the New Year with a fabulous celebration at one of our restaurants, enjoy the amazing fireworks extravaganza and start 2019 the right way.
Space for all
Lack of space was another issue cited – 13% have a family stay in a nearby hotel over the Christmas period.
Sleeping up to eight people, our luxury lodges and Treehouses with open-plan living areas, are the perfect place to host your family together, while also giving you space to unwind to after a busy day. Want to bring the whole family along? No problem. You can have more than one lodge, or try our 6-bedroom Woodland Lodge at Sherwood Forest or at Whinfell Forest.
Plan ahead
Between wrapping gifts and stocking up on fizz, there’s so much to do at Christmas. Our research showed planning starts as early as 19 August and can be locked in place a whole two months before.
So plan ahead, that’s fine! You can book a Center Parcs break up until April 2020 and with our new website you can invite your guests to the booking so they can book their own activities and restaurants, as well as view the break itinerary.
Live far from family?
With five villages across the UK, we’re sure there’s one village you can meet family half way at, so you don’t have to make such a long journey in all the traffic and after all the glasses of fizz you’ll have consumed.
And with a mixture of break durations over weekends or the midweek, there’s plenty of opportunities to get together all year round. Three nights could be the perfect way to spend quality time together and what better way than at Winter Wonderland or New Year?
Want to spend more time together?
It’s important that time spent together as a family is quality time, which psychologist Emma Kenny says can be improved by seeing each other more frequently. She says: “families who see each other little and often are more likely to have less tension among each other than those who only see each other on special occasions”.
Book now for hassle-free family time at Center Parcs this Christmas and New Year.
