The people behind the stories

We write as real people because we are real people, talking to you. We are a team that love to share amazing updates with our guests, being lovers of visiting Center Parcs with our families and friends too. Keep an eye out for guest authors on Village Life from our lovely colleagues on our villages.

  

Sophie Milne

As Senior Creative Copywriter, it’s my job to bring the Center Parcs experience to life with words. I love sharing ideas and inspiration about all the wonderful things you can see and do in the forest.

What I enjoy doing as a family

We love spending time outdoors, particularly in the warmer months. My mum and I will put together a picnic with some homemade treats, and we’ll head off to a local heritage site, attraction or nature reserve for a day out.

Why family time is important to me

Since moving away for university and settling down in Nottingham, I don’t see my family quite as often as I’d like – so these days I don’t take it for granted and it’s something I always look forward to.

My favourite family memory

I’ve been lucky enough to go on some fantastic family holidays, not least at Center Parcs! There’s definitely something special about going down the Wild Water Rapids under the night sky - we never get bored of it!

As a Brand and Content Executive at Center Parcs, I love hearing all about guest's experiences and sharing tips and tricks on how to make your break special!

What I enjoy doing as a family:

We love exploring the countryside and are always finding new places to visit, both in our local area and abroad! We are also frequent guests of Center Parcs and particularly enjoy adrenaline-fuelled activities like Aerial Adventure! 

Why family time is important to me:

I have quite a close-knit family and so we always enjoy spending time together. Creating special family memories is so important!

My favourite family moment:

I've been very lucky to visit some wonderful places with my family over the years, my favourite would have to be snorkelling on the coral reef in Egypt! I'm a big lover of nature and really enjoying seeking out wildlife, whether it be in the sea or in the forest!
