Center Parcs Launches First Ever Festive Corporate Package

The outdoor event destination introduces a new end-of-year festivities offering for businesses

Center Parcs Conferences & Events announces the launch of its first ever end-of-year festive event package for business clients – Festive Meetings in the Forest – available at both its Woburn Forest and Sherwood Forest venues.

Bringing together companies for away days and team building activities in the forest since 1987, Center Parcs’ introduction of festive packages for businesses marks a significant development in its 37-year history.

Renowned for taking ‘corporate wellbeing’ to the next level, Center Parcs’ new offering will help meet growing demand for festive work parties in the great outdoors and follows the successful introduction of its Twilight Spa package at Aqua Sana Forest for businesses earlier this year.

Festive Meetings in The Forest brings the magic of Christmas to corporate meetings, events and conferences, allowing employers to reward their staff or treat external partners to a freshly prepared two or three course festive lunch as an add-on to their seasonal day delegate package.

As part of the package, delegates can either embrace the colder weather by visiting the magical Winter Wonderland on village with its twinkling light show and festive performances or escape it with a trip to the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, bursting with tropical plants, slides, and 29.5C water.

Businesses booking the festive package with Center Parcs will benefit from a meeting room at The Venue, the dedicated conference space on village, fully decked out with best-in-class AV technology and high-speed internet connection – ideal for hosting Christmas quizzes or presenting corporate strategies as companies prepare for Q1 of 2025. Companies can also treat their teams to an add-on game of Bowling or Adventure Golf post meeting or one of the numerous leisure activities or spa sessions to enhance their event further.

Julia Green, Head of Corporate Events at Center Parcs Conferences & Events, said: “Work Christmas parties have historically always been associated with over-indulgence, but in recent years we’ve seen a significant rise in demand for corporate festivities that strike the right balance between excitement and restoration – particularly as health-conscious, younger generations enter the workforce.

“Wellbeing is at the very core of our corporate offering at Center Parcs, so it was only right to create a festive package that could cater to this growing appetite for enriching, nature-rich team bonding experiences around the holiday season. Whether businesses want to reward employees or impress external partners with some festive fun, we’re excited to bring a new offering to our corporate clients and help them celebrate the winter months together.”

Thebrand-new Festive Meetings in The Forest package is available for businesses to book from today for dates between 08 November – 13 December, starting in 2024. Prices start from £99 (+VAT per person) and include parking and pre-bookable EV spaces.
