A message to our Center Parcs Conferences & Events family
Updated 3rd July 2020
In light of the ongoing coronavirus concerns in the UK and the uncertainty around group gatherings, we've made the difficult decision that we will not be in a position to deliver conferences and events at Center Parcs in 2020.
Although The Venue doors remain temporarily closed, we are still here for you. The safety and wellbeing of our guests and staff lies at the heart of everything we do and has never been more important to us - so rest assured, we're busy making plans for when we can safely welcome you back to create memorable moments with your team here in the forest. Thank you for bearing with us while we do.
This extra time allows us to explore the changes we need to make to the future Center Parcs experience for our corporate guests. We're confident that we can and will adapt, and ultimately continue to do what we do best in delivering unforgettable events for you and your team.
Until we meet again... stay safe, we can't wait to see you soon.
We'll keep this page updated with our plans to reopen for conferences and events in January 2021, so keep checking back for more information.
What does this mean for existing bookings?
Any existing bookings will be contacted individually with the options available to them.
Can I contact you?
Our Contact Centre is currently closed, which means we cannot accept any calls from our guests.
We have a small team working from home during our closure period, so please email centerparcs.events@centerparcs.co.uk to get in touch with us. As our team is reduced, it's taking us much longer than we would like to get back to our guests.
We're so sorry but our response times will be much slower than usual right now. Please bear with us.
