If you tune into your lodge TV each evening, you can watch the animated version of all our seasonal stories, including festive games to play. The perfect end to a magical day.

Santa's Workshop
The big day is on its way and we have a very special visitor at Center Parcs… Santa Claus himself is setting up his workshop right here in the forest, as his little helpers make all the last-minute toys and gifts for Christmas.
Loved by all the generations, bring your little ones, bring the grandparents, and all get stuck in painting your festive masterpiece, professionally glazed and fired.
Winter is also warm when you’re at Center Parcs, with our 29.5 degrees indoor Subtropical Swimming Paradise. Where else in the world would you go from a chilly winter woodland straight to a tropical Amazon rainforest?
