Center Parcs Expecting To Welcome 1 Millionth Guest As It Turns Five

Thursday, 25 July 2024 12:42

The midlands resort has welcomed over 900,000 guests since it opened.

Center Parcs says the success of its Longford village has exceeded its expectations.

The midlands resort is turning five in the coming week, and has welcomed 930,000 guests since it was opened in July 2019.

It expects to reach one million guests at some point this year.

The resort has revealed its most popular activities over the past five years, with Adventure Golf leading the way, followed by the Indoor Climbing Adventure.

To mark its fifth birthday, a LEGO replica of the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, designed by former ‘LEGO® Masters’ contestants, Jessica, and Faolán Farrell from Rathangan, was erected outside the real venue.

Daragh Feighery, Village Director at Center Parcs Longford Forest, says they are very proud so many Irish families have taken them to their hearts. 

"The last five years have been incredible, from welcoming our very first guest to recently announcing our plans to expand the village – which is testament to the hard work of over 1,300 incredible colleagues that work here. 

We’re always looking at how we can improve the offering and service, and year on year we have seen an increase in the number of guests that visit and return – and we expect to welcome our millionth by the end of the year. With so much achieved in the last five years, here’s to the next five!"
