Center Parcs has announced that it has reversed its decision to close for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on Monday (September 19). The holiday park operator had announced on Tuesday (September 13) that it would be ordering holidaymakers to leave its UK sites for the day.
After revealing that its five parks would close for 24 hours from 10am on Monday, the company received complaints from angry customers. It had been announced that guests part-way through their holidays would be forced to spend the night elsewhere or go home early.
Tonight, however, the company has refreshed its advice. In a statement, it said that while the five parks it operates will remain closed on Monday to new arrivals, those who have an itinerary which doesn't see them depart on the Monday will be allowed to stay.
