Soak up the festive atmosphere from Monday 8 November 2021 – Christmas Eve at Winter Wonderland, where our villages will be transformed with lights, decorations and snow. It’s not to be missed, so come for a weekend break or midweek break and find plenty of seasonal activities to keep you busy and really get you in the festive spirit. Here’s what a Winter Wonderland break looks like:
The village transforms into a magical Christmas playground, with snow, lights and festive decorations. It’s Center Parcs like never before
Take a stroll through Santa’s Woodland Village and see our elves enjoying some of our favourite festive activities in our new Toadstool Cabins
Soak up the festive atmosphere and warm up with a drink and seasonal treat at the Forest Festive Fayre
Visit Santa and his elves in his Woodland Workshop before Christmas Day. Pre-book your visit where all children will receive a gift from Santa and a special souvenir photograph to take home. Santa visits are limited to a maximum of four guests, which must include one adult
Discover our free Enchanted Light Trail in Santa’s Woodland Village and walk through the twinkling lights. Watch the little ones look up in awe as they take in the magic that surrounds them. Enjoy the immersive experience every evening of your break. Open 4pm – 9pm daily
Watch our seasonal stories, featuring Cranberry and Nutmeg the reindeer, every evening on your lodge television. And this year you can watch Nutmeg’s Flyers, our new story book, available to purchase at the Christmas Shop
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!
