In line with our commitment to protecting our forests and wildlife, we’ve made the decision not to bring back our firework displays at Center Parcs. Whilst fireworks are beautiful, they can cause stress and anxiety to wildlife, household pets and some of our guests, and can be damaging to the local environment.
We know that fireworks have traditionally been an important part of the festive experience here at Center Parcs, so this winter we’re lighting up the forest with a brand-new Enchanted Light Trail instead – and you can visit as often as you like!
A unique festive atmosphere across the entire village with twinkly lights and sculptures
Wake up Christmas morning nestled in the wintery forest
Make new family traditions, all together
Pre-bookable time entry slots at the Subtropical Swimming Paradise (10 pence nominal charge for charity), which even opens on Christmas Day
Additional extras
Once you have booked your break you can start to book your activities and fill your itinerary. Available extra to the cost of your break, you can enjoy:
Morning
A new family tradition of waking up nestled in the forest to see what Santa has delivered. After opening presents, you’ll have worked up an appetite for breakfast.
Afternoon
Before your Christmas Day dinner at one of our restaurants, explore the woodland with your family and see what creatures are out on Christmas Day.
Evening
Warm up in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise where it feels like summer at 29.5 degrees. Head back to your lodge for a well deserved rest and put your feet up by the log fire and play a family board game.
Make a splash
Warm up in our Subtropical Swimming Paradise where it’s summer all year round at 29.5 degrees. What’s better than rides, slides and children’s water play areas when it’s cold outside?

“Hugo's absolute favourite thing from Center Parcs was this huge silver figure. He just adored the lights and trees. It's safe to say that we have left feeling very very festive”
