Centre PARC discounts?

I want to book a weekend in Centre Parcs for June 2016. All the parks have great reviews, but the prices make me shudder :eek:
For the life of me I can't find any form of discount code :(
Does anyone know how to get a bit of discount please?
I think we're going to settle for Sherwood Forest, but as none of us have ever been, any opinions would be gratefully received as well.
Cheers

    That's what you get with Center Parcs - they are brilliant places, but not cheap. I've been to all of the UK ones over the years, can't fault them. But you do pay for the privilege.


    Also be aware that whilst the pool is included in the price, pretty much all the other activities cost extra. The activities are great fun, and again they're very well run, but the cost can rapidly mount up. Having said that, my kids will happily spend hours at a time in the pool - what with all the slides, chutes etc. there's plenty to keep them busy.


    One tip that can help save a bit of money - if you're planning on self-catering some or all of the time, take food, wine, beer etc. with you. There is a supermarket on site, but the prices are higher than Tesco, Asda whatever. Or what we've done sometimes, if you don't want to cart loads of food with you - get to your lodge, get unpacked, then drive out to the nearest town and find an ordinary supermarket. The centres are usually pretty close to a decent-sized town, so you should be able to find a supermarket without driving for miles.


    I'm not aware of any discount codes - but the only upside is that the prices tend to keep the chavs away ;)

    I think you'll struggle to get any discounts there, I do work for someone and his Mrs works there so i mentioned if he could get us any discount if i went.

    He told me that they used to but they've become basically tight with any discounts but he could get me day passes, thats the best deal i could get and im sure he'd got me a offer if he could've done.
