Center Parcs Unveils Major Upgrades at Sherwood Forest Village: A Look at the Plans
Get ready for an exciting transformation at Sherwood Forest Center Parcs! According to recent planning applications, this beloved holiday destination is set to undergo a series of enhancements that will bring a popular attraction to the village.
A New Dimension to Sherwood Forest Center Parcs
Sherwood Forest Center Parcs, spanning 400 acres of forest, is already a haven for relaxation and adventure. It boasts a spa, the UK's first Treetop Sauna, and luxurious lodges with hot tubs. But the plans go even further!
Upgrading Accommodation and Adding New Attractions
The holiday destination aims to improve its accommodation and introduce exciting new attractions. Here's a breakdown of the proposed changes:
Accommodation Expansion: The park seeks permission to demolish its former head office and replace it with a three-storey apartment building. The current accommodation is deemed inefficient and oversized, with potential for expansion to two additional storeys. This will result in eight two-bedroom apartments, 38 one-bedroom apartments, and two accessible one-bedroom apartments, all offering self-catering options with terrace or balcony spaces.
Outdoor Enhancements: Center Parcs plans to enhance the outdoor experience by adding pergolas to the lodges. This includes expanding patio areas and installing new pergolas, providing covered spaces for guests and additional bike storage with cycle racks.
Thrill-Seekers' Paradise: One of the most anticipated additions is the Treetop Glider, a rollercoaster-style ride that will take visitors on a thrilling journey through the forest canopy. This zip line roller coaster will feature a circular loop across a significant portion of the park, complete with a spectator area and a timber cabin for kit assembly.
A Journey Through Time and Evolution
Sherwood Forest Center Parcs has a rich history, opening its doors in 1987 as the company's first UK village. Since then, it has expanded to five other sites, solidifying its reputation as a premier holiday destination. These planned upgrades reflect Center Parcs' commitment to innovation and guest satisfaction.
Stay tuned as these exciting developments unfold, promising an even more memorable experience at Sherwood Forest Center Parcs!
