Forest leisure operator Center Parc is hoping for a boost to business this year as it continues to invest in facilities at four of its sites, including Elveden Forest in East Anglia.

Center Parcs is already adding 57 additional lodges, including 15 Woodland Lodges and 42 Executive Lodges, at its newest village, Woburn Forest, in Bedforeshire, under a project valued at £11.4m.

This follows last November's opening of 48 new 'Breckland Apartments' at Elveden Forest in Suffolk, featuring a double or twin beds, a self-catering kitchen, a living area, an en-suite shower room and a balcony.

There is also a new addition at Eleveden for companies booking a teambuilding event in the form of The Drop, the newest addition to the range of activities at Action Challenge. Delegates can climb to the top of a tower and take on the Double Drop Zip Wire, Air Bag Jump, Leap of Faith and Quick Jump at heights of up to 10 metres.

Work is also underway on developing Aqua Sana's World of Spa concept at Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire, for delegates and guests looking for a more sedate activity and due to be completed in early 2017.

And, fiesta time has arrived at Longleat Forest in Wiltshire with the opening of the Las Iguanas restaurant, serving up authentic Latin American food and drink seven days a week.

Ellie Jones, national account manager at Center Parcs, said: 'Here at Center Parcs we are continually investing in our accommodation and facilities for corporate and leisure guests.

'It is important for us to be able to continue our roll out of new lodges to meet demand, and we are dedicated to providing our guests with new and improved facilities for teambuilding, as well as introducing additional dining options.

'We are looking forward to the completion of these projects this year to further enhance the experience for our corporate and leisure guests.'
