Center Parcs has announced its holiday villages will be closing for the day of the Queen's funeral on Monday, September 19, and guests aren't happy about their breaks being interrupted. The Nottinghamshire-based company, which has six locations around the country including Sherwood Forest, said: "Following the announcement of the date of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, we have made the decision to close all our UK villages on Monday 19 September as a mark of respect and to allow as many of our colleagues as possible to be part of this historic moment.
"Guests who were due to arrive on Monday, September 19, should not travel on this day, though we will reopen on Tuesday, September 20, and be ready to welcome our guests then. We hope our guests will understand our decision to support our Queen on her final journey.
"All guests impacted by the closure will receive an email today explaining the options available." Holidaymakers staying over the weekend who were planning on watching the state funeral on site have been told they will have to leave by 10am on Monday.
