Center Parcs Announces First Scottish Holiday Village

The £400 million project in the Scottish Borders aims to create 1,200 permanent jobs and enhance local biodiversity.

Center Parcs plans to submit a planning application in 2025 for a new site near Hawick, Scotland, with construction expected to take over two years.
The development will feature around 700 lodges, offering a range of indoor and outdoor activities, including an indoor water park.
The project promises significant economic benefits, creating 750-800 construction jobs and boosting local tourism and leisure industries.
The site will undergo extensive afforestation, aiming to transform open grassland into a biodiverse woodland environment.
The new village is expected to open in 2028, catering to the high demand from Scottish families who currently visit Center Parcs locations in England.
