On a Center Parcs break we want our guests to relax knowing everything is taken care of. Our Retail department provides a fantastic shopping experience, from everyday groceries to sweet treats to toys, gifts and clothing.
Across each village there are a number of retail units, including our very own supermarket called Parcmarket and Sweet shop called Treats, as well as a children’s toy store, a gift shop and our swimwear and accessories shop and these are all complemented by our clothing store.
Whether you visit our on-Village supermarket packed full of your favourite brands or our dedicated sweet shop for a little holiday indulgence, one thing’s for sure: our retail teams deliver a memorable experience and excellent service wherever you go.
