CENTER PARCS - to think I can do it on a budget? Tips/advice much needed!

[GingerbreadGirl11]

We’ve booked Center Parcs ages ago but Money is now very tight due to unforeseen circumstances. DC are 4 and 18 months and I’m hoping to do it on a very tight budget. Is this possible? As I’ve heard Center Parcs is extortionate. Please help!

The ducks, geese etc quite happily eat lettuce. The deer and rabbits will too. We had some manky salad left at the end of our stay and lobbed it out onto the patio and they all came !
Take your own disposable BBQ too.

Take some peanuts to feed the squirrels. They're quite tame and will come to your patio for food.
A bag of grain to feed ducks/swans.

Echo the other comments re self catering. Also buy some logs and marshmallows, they are not extortionate in the on-site shop but can be bought cheaper elsewhere. Raw nuts and seeds are really cheap in garden centres.

There is soft play near the bar if you want to splash out on drinks.

Good as back up if its raining.
