centerparcs abroad at christmas

Does anyone know when the prices get released for christmas? can only see availability up until october at the moment... Uk has christmas prices already

Are the prices abroad generally cheaper like they seem to be all year round compared to the UK? Has anyone been to one abroad at christmas ie france?

Thanks : )

    Hi Spaggy,
    The prices for the 2 centerparcs in France are in the french life brochure so you could use your tesco vouchers to pay if you collect them...I can tell you a rough idea out of their brochure including ferry crossings if you want...They have xmas and new yeard dates and prices...I think it's much cheaper than the UK Centerparcs..

    Hi spaggy,
    yes they do 2 brochures..The camping life doesn't have the centerparcs though I don't think.Yes it's the French Life one...You should be able to pay for all your holiday with tesco vouchers...To go for new year at Normandy for a comfort for 4 people for 4 nights including crossing is £674 for 4 nights...xmas is £657..If you need any more info just let me know...

    Although it's always tempting to use the Tesco vouchers you will probably find it a lot cheaper to book direct and use Tesco vouchers for the crossing.

    We've booked to go to the Center Parcs site at Erperheide in Belgium for the Spring bank holiday (half term) mon to fri. It cost us 350 euros (about £250) for a 4 bed villa with two eurotunnel crossings booked separately and paid for in Tesco vouchers at £54 each. Ferry would be cheaper still.

    Does anybody know if the continental Center Parcs have Parcmarkets like the English ones?

    Hi revsteve,
    We have just booked cenetrparcs in Holland for the end of August for a week for £360...We also booked our ferry from Hull overnight using tesco vouchers...Good idea to look at prices for new year/xmas seperatly as I have for this summer...As for parcmarkets do you mean the shops etc??..This is my first time to centerparcs but looking at the virtual vist online they have a super market and bakery etc..Is that what you mean?

    I can see the bakery but I can't see reference to the Supermarket - just a 'shopping service'. Is this the same thing? Where should I be looking?

    I will have another look online....I am sure they will have a supermarket...I will get back to you

    Just looked at the site your going to and it looks like a shop at the back of the bakery....I might be wrong but they have shops onsite for basic essentials...It doesn't actually say anywhere they have a supermarket...It might be better to ring to confirm but there should be some kind of food shop

    about 15 years ago, i regulary holiday'd at center parcs (did all of the belgian and dutch sites that were current then), all were english speaking and from what i remember all then had supermarkets, which were very cheap compared to uk. holidays there were cheaper as well than the uk

    Hi Pudding, I've got the brochure but can't find any details on centerparcs in it...

    if you've got the brochure handy could you let me know what page they are on please?

    thanks very much
