Yes. Center Parcs Villages in the UK are entirely cashless. Thats from paying for groceries at the parc market to using the arcade machines. It is all done through card payments, contactless payments at that.
Is Center Parcs dog friendly?
Yes..ish. There are a limited number of dog friendly lodges available in each village and there are dedicated dog parks around the sites. However I say 'ish' as most of the venues in the villages are for service dogs only (ie Bella Italia, Hucks, Sports Plaza, Leisure Bowl) with only a handful of dog friendly venues such as The Lakeside and Foresters Inn. And please remember to keep your dog on a lead when walking in the village and be a responsible dog owner.
