As the lockdown continues to ease, holidaymakers will being welcomed back to the Center Parcs sites in Elveden in Suffolk and Woburn in Bedfordshire.

The company's set to open all its holiday centres on Monday 13 July after being shut for almost four months. 

There are lots of new safety measures in place to protect visitors and the 1,500 members of staff who work at the one site at Woburn Forest.

Not everything will be open initially - indoor sporting activities, the swimming area and spa will remain closed for now and ITV News Anglia has been told that the price will reflect that.

Special cleaning procedures have also been implemented in the lodges. 

With 400 acres of woodland, and reduced visitors, Center Parcs is hoping families will be happy coming back.  As government guidelines change, it's likely the rest of the site will reopen to the public soon.
