Record EBITDA at Center Parcs in “another strong year of growth”

 Center Parcs has reported EBITDA of more than £320m - its highest ever - in "another strong year of growth" for the holiday village operator. This came despite "substantial increases in costs". 

The company operates five villages in the UK and one in Ireland; Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, Elveden Forest in Suffolk, Longleat Forest in Wiltshire, Whinfell Forest in Cumbria, Woburn Forest in Bedfordshire and Longford Forest in Ireland.  

Center Parcs (Group Holdings) Ltd generated an EBITDA of £323.9m in the year to April 2026, up from £319.5m in 2025. 

This was supported by an increase in revenues from £734.8m to £758.2m.

Fury as Center Parcs makes major change to its booking policy – with customers slamming ‘incredibly unfair’ rule

 CUSTOMERS have been left furious over a decision by Center Parcs to switch up its booking policy, branding the move “incredibly unfair”.

Those heading to the posh holiday park must now cancel any bookings for the spa or other activities seven days prior, rather than 12 hours in advance, to get a full refund.

The change is coming in October and means people may have less flexibility for their holiday.

Angry fans have blasted the pricey holiday camp, with some branding the move as “greedy”.

40 new apartments and a zipline in plans for Center Parcs

New apartments and a zipline will add to the facilities at the Center Parcs resort in Nottinghamshire.

The Sherwood Forest Center Parcs near Rufford was the first site of the holiday village giant to open in the UK, in 1987, and covers more than 400 acres of forest.

Since then, around 500,000 indigenous trees have been planted, along with 30 acres of lakes, streams and ponds.

A range of improvements will be made to the site after plans were approved by Newark and Sherwood District Council on Friday, 15 May.

Managers at the holiday park company say the changes will take place between 2026 and 2027.

The most notable aspect of the plans involves tearing down older former office buildings to more than triple the number of holiday apartments.

The existing two buildings, which are set to be demolished and relate to units 910 to 920, currently contain 11 ‘executive’ apartments featuring one and two bedrooms.

The buildings were originally Center Parcs’ head offices before they were internally converted into the current apartments.These will be demolished to make way for a new three-storey apartment block containing 48 apartments in total.

This will include eight two-bedroom apartments, 38 one-bedroom apartments, and two accessible one-bedroom apartments.

A new, small aerial ‘Zipzag’ zipline ‘rollercoaster’ can now be built near the lake in the centre of the holiday park following wider plan approval.

Can celeb holidaymakers save Center Parcs?

 Can celeb holidaymakers save Center Parcs? After complaints over 'criminal' prices, 'tacky' food and drunken louts ruining middle class family getaways, why stars including Dani Dyer are flocking to its woodland chalets

t may not be the first type of holiday that springs to mind when you think of celebrities, but even the most glamorous of stars aren't above going to Center Parcs with the kids. 

Despite numerous complaints in recent years about the middle-class holiday park's 'criminal' prices, 'tacky' food options, and drunken louts ruining the serene atmosphere, the likes of Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury and Scarlett Moffatt have headed to Center Parcs for a UK staycation.

Some celebs - including Kate and Rio Ferdinand - even love it so much they return again and again.

The latest star to holiday in Center Parcs is Dani Dyer, having recently returned from a week at the Woburn, Bedfordshire, resort with her son Santiago, five, and two-year-old twins, Summer and Star.  

The former Love Island winner, who's married to West Ham football captain Jarrod Bowen, was seen enjoying a dip at the indoor tropical swimming pool, cycling around the park, and eating pancakes.

Center Parcs ditches family service at all UK holiday parks

 Center Parcs operates large sites in forest settings, mainly in the UK and Ireland, but now a popular service for parents is about to be axed.

With lodge and apartment accommodation, a big indoor subtropical-style pool and a wide range of paid activities, from cycling and climbing to watersports and spa treatments.

But now, things are set to change.

The company previously offered a crèche service for kids between three months and three years, for up to three hours.

However, it has confirmed that this will no longer be offered at any of its five UK resorts by the end of next month.

Customers with upcoming bookings have discovered they can no longer book their kids in if their holiday is after the end of May, and the option has been removed across all of Center Parcs’ UK sites.

Center Parcs UK vs Center Parcs Europe - which is actually cheaper for school holidays

 While Center Parcs is a great family choice, it's certainly not the cheapest. So, could a short journey to Europe actually save you money? We compared the price of a break in the school holidays at the two holiday parks

Center Parcs may be famous for its massive swimming pools, endless family activities, and beautiful lodges, but it's also notorious for being a bit expensive, especially once you hit the school holidays.

Despite its prices, the five Center Parcs in the UK and one in Ireland has no trouble attracting families. But if you're on a budget, you might be wondering if it's possible to enjoy the Center Parcs experience without the premium prices.

One option that many families with school-aged kids will be looking at is staying in a European Center Parcs.

Although it is run by a different company, there are 28 Center Parcs holiday parks across Europe, and they can be found on the Belgian and Dutch coast, deep in Germany's forests, and even close to Disneyland Paris, so there are lots of locations to choose from.

Scotland Center Parcs expected to open in 2029 as work begins on £450m site

Work is officially underway at the new £450 million Center Parcs site in Scotland.

First Minister John Swinney planted the first of hundreds of thousands of trees at Center Parcs’s Scottish Borders village on 18 March.

The new village between Hawick and Selkirk is expected to create around 1,200 jobs and contribute £75 million annually to the local economy.

Planning permission for the development was granted by the Scottish Borders Council in December over approximately 1,000 acres of land.

Center Parcs first holiday village in Scotland clears final planning hurdle

 Work is finally set to get underway on Center Parcs first holiday village in Scotland.

The leisure operator was granted planning permission for the 700-lodge development, just off the A7 north of Hawick, at the end of last year.

But officials revealed they wouldn't commit to the £450 million investment without a byelaw restricting access over the main part of the site.

They stressed having a secure and enclosed site is needed for safety and operational reasons.

And, tonight (Monday), Scottish Borders Council has confirmed its request to restrict access at Huntlaw and Muirfield Farm, Hassendean, has been granted.

The byelaw will officially come into force in April.

A local authority spokesperson said: "This marks a key step in regulating land access for the proposed Center Parcs holiday village."

Horror at UK Center Parcs as 'multiple guests injured' on damaged water slide

A number of people have been treated for injuries after riding a damaged water slide at Center Parcs. The Wild Water Rapids had reportedly “sustained some damage” leading to the incident at the Sherwood Forest site, in Nottingham. The rapids in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise area were shut down for an investigation after on-site medics treated a “small number” of people for injuries.

It is understood the popular water attraction was re-opened on Tuesday (23 December) to guests after a thorough check. A spokesperson said: “A small section of the Wild Water Rapids at Sherwood Forest sustained some damage yesterday and was closed as a precaution, following further investigation.

‘Reinvigorate love’: Center Parcs on its new brand purpose and strategy

As Center Parcs unveils its new brand platform, CMO Sara Holt discusses plans to tackle price perceptions, take on “generic” ads and attract new audiences.

It’s rare for a marketing leader to enter a business and be given licence to completely rebrand in their first year, but that was the opportunity facing Center Parcs CMO Sara Holt.

The short-break holiday operator is unveiling a new brand purpose and platform, part of what Holt describes as a “transformational” moment for the business, aimed at “reigniting love and passion” for the brand.

For the center of your world


This campaign launches Center Parc's new brand platform - 'For the center of your world'. Leading with a 60" film 'Bubbles' the campaign brings to life the feeling guests experience when visiting one of Center Parc's villages of being able to get away from everyday life and spend time with their family.

The platform is being shared through a TV, Cinema, OOH and Social campaign as well as being brought to life across all Center Parcs villages.

Blackstone 'rejects' £2bn Center Parcs bid with plans to float on stock market

 Blackstone – the private equity giant which owns Center Parcs – is believed to have rejected a joint £2bn (€2.5bn, $3.1bn) bid from BC Partners and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) for the chain of leisure resorts.

Sky News is reporting that Blackstone rebuffed the bid, saying the offer undervalued the leisure operator.

Following the rejection, Blackstone is thought to be formally planning to float the company on the stock market in 2015, or put Center Parcs up for a formal auction.

Blackstone has owned Center Parcs since 2006 and has reported a 99 per cent occupancy for its newest site in Woburn Forest, Bedfordshire, since opening and is in talks with tourism authorities in Ireland over the construction of a resort there.

Center Parcs introduces big new change to check in times – and not everyone is happy

 CENTER Parcs has announced a big change to its check in times at the holiday park, but not everyone is convinced.


The holiday giant is changing its guest arrival times by introducing staggered entry times for different types of lodges to reduce traffic on the site. 

Centre Parcs hopes the changes will also improve parking availability outside cottages during the busy check in days, which are Fridays and Mondays.

Currently, most guests drive to their lodges around 4pm on the first day of their stay and then move their cars back to the site’s car park once they’ve unpacked, which can cause queues around the village.

But from September 29, the entry times will be more varied to avoid the 4pm rush.
