CENTER PARCS is a great place to take some time off and enjoy a holiday with the family.
However, this week the UK enter national mourning following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, September 8, 2022.
Is Center Parcs open on the Queen’s funeral?
Center Parcs confirmed that they will not be taking in any new guests on Monday, September 19, 2022, the date of the Queen’s funeral.
They tweeted: “Following the announcement of the date of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, we have made the decision to close all our UK villages on Monday 19 September at 10am as a mark of respect and to allow as many of our colleagues as possible to be part of this historic moment.
“Guests who were due to arrive on Monday 19 September should not travel, we will reopen on Tuesday 20 September to welcome guests.
“All impacted guests will receive an email from us today.

When will Center Parcs reopen?
Center Parcs will open its doors for guests once again on Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
Until then, only guests who are already at the centre can stay there.
What have Center Parcs said?
With the announcement of the Queen passing away, Center Parcs posted on Twitter: “We are deeply saddened to hear the news that Queen Elizabeth II has passed away and we would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Royal Family.”
Five days later, they issued the statement found above about closing on the day of the Queen’s funeral.
This made many visitors unhappy as their work leave was taken and couldn’t change the dates of their travel.
Center Parcs were also expecting some of their guests to leave the village on September 19 and then return the next day.
However, following the backlash from such decision, they decided to reverse this and allow guests to remain.
They said: “The vast majority of our guests are either due to arrive or depart on Monday 19th September.
“We have, however, reviewed our position regarding the very small number of guests who are not due to depart on Monday, and we will be allowing them to stay on our villages rather than having to leave and return on Tuesday.
“The villages will still remain closed on Monday, and we will be offering a discount for the lack of facilities available on that day.”
