Center Parcs reveals first Woburn site visuals

Construction work of Center Parcs' new £250m village in Bedfordshire is on schedule for a spring 2014 opening.

The company has now revealed the first artist's impressions and a 3D 'fly through' video of the Woburn Forest site, which will be Center Parcs' fifth UK village.

The holiday village will comprise 625 forest lodges, a 75 bedroom hotel and an Aqua Sana-branded spa with six associated spa suites and two leisure buildings including indoor sports facilities, a "subtropical swimming paradise", restaurants and retail outlets.

It will also include outdoor sports and leisure facilities and a lake. Bookings for the new site open this summer.

Martin Dalby, CEO of Center Parcs UK, said: "Although we've been hit with snow, wind and rain over the last few months, the team has worked hard to ensure we're on track to open to guests in spring 2014.

"It hasn't come without its challenges but with just over a year to go, the village is really starting to take shape."

Last August, Center Parcs handed construction firm ISG a £61m contract to build the accommodation element.

Private equity giant Blackstone, Center Parcs' owner, is investing £100m into the venture while four UK banks - RBS, Barclays, HSBC and Lloyds Banking Group - have committed to a construction loan of approximately £150m.
