The first guests have been welcomed at Center Parcs Woburn Forest, the fifth Center Parcs Village in the UK. Woburn Forest in Bedfordshire is expected to welcome 350,000 guests in its first year.
The new Village is set within 362 acres of forest and offers the largest Subtropical Swimming Paradise, along with a state-of-the-art Aqua Sana spa.
It offers 625 lodges, a 75 bedroom hotel, six Spa Suites and a host of restaurants, shops and over 100 leisure activities.
The Shearing House restaurant, inspired by the local area’s farming heritage, has a spacious and relaxing environment and offers large sofas, communal kitchen tables and an outdoor terrace with stunning forest views.
Preparing to personally welcome the first guests to Woburn Forest, Martin Dalby, CEO of Center Parcs said, “After years of hard work, dedication and passion, we’re thrilled that Woburn Forest is opening today and we’re ready to welcome our first guests. There is already a real buzz around the new Village and we hope that families are as excited as we are at the prospect of a short break at Woburn Forest.
“Everything about the new Village is the result of a culmination of 27 years of experience and lots of guest research into what modern families are looking for. We are determined to offer the best short break experience for families, unrivalled in quality by anyone else in Europe.”
