Welcome to Center Parcs - the number one choice for short break holidays, employing a team of over 9,000 people across six separate villages located in the UK and Ireland. Our employees work together to make sure guests have a memorable and safe short break with us and, under current Government guidelines, this must include everyone staying alert and safe whilst on the village.
