Forest safety
7 August 2020
During extreme dry weather spells we take advice from the Met Office, please see below some basic fire safety points:
Smoking is permitted only in designated smoking locations on village and on the patio/ balcony of accommodation
The use of wood from the forest is strictly prohibited for use on the fire in accommodation (please only use logs purchased from ParcMarket)
The making of fires of any sort is strictly prohibited
Should you discover a fire no matter how small, please contact the village emergency number or call 999
Due to our forest environment, we may need to withdraw the use of BBQ’s in extreme hot weather
We do have regular fire checks in place but please be vigilant and help us to maintain a safe environment in the forest.
We know that our focus on providing a safe environment with minimal traffic is something you really value. That’s why we need your help to reduce the traffic on our villages to protect what you love about Center Parcs: a place where little ones can run free and explore, and parents can feel at ease.
