Center Parcs clarifies Queen's funeral rules after 'hostage' accusations

Center Parcs has clarified its site rules for Monday, September 19 in a response to a tweet accusing the company of keeping people "hostage".

Center Parcs was hit with a wave of criticism after it was announced that all of its UK parks will close from 10am on Monday, September 19, for the Queen's state funeral. People were told not to travel to any of its five UK sites on Monday, with all of its holiday villages remaining closed until the following day - and people staying over the Monday told they would have to leave the site.

However, the company has since signalled a change of course. In an email to guests, they said that "on reflection", they recognised that leaving the village for one night and then returning was "extremely inconvenient" for visitors.
