Center Parcs backtracks on closure for Queen’s funeral
Following a backlash from guests, Center Parcs has backed down on a decision to shut down parks for the Queen’s funeral.
It said the closure was ‘as a mark of respect’ and would have meant all guests were forced to leave.
However, it led to a flood of complaints from angry park guests.
In a U-turn, Center Parcs said guests not due to check out on Monday can stay.
New guests arriving on Monday can check in from10:00 am.
“The vast majority of our guests are either due to arrive or depart on Monday 19 September,” Center Parcs said.
“We have however, reviewed our position regarding the very small number of guests who are not due to depart, and we will be allowing them to stay on our villages rather than having to leave and return on Tuesday.”
Center Parcs has holiday parks in Elveden Forest, Suffolk; Longleat Forest, Wiltshire; Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire; Woburn Forest, Bedfordshire and Whinfell Forest, Cumbria.
