Eurocamp will be expanding the number of parks it offers for 2026, adding 13 new parks to destinations popular with British holidaymakers such as France and the Netherlands.
Five new parks are now available to book in France, many in the sunny south of the country. In Vendée, there’s Le Tropicana, which has waterslides and direct beach access, while in Landes, on the border with Spain, you can stay at Le Col d’Ibardin and explore the Basque Coast.
There’s also Château de l’Hom on the grounds of a medieval château with pretty river views, and Lou Cigalon, a park in the popular Provence region with a heated pool. For those wanting to explore the stylish Riviera, Domaine de Miremer is set on a picturesque hillside just a 15-minute drive from the glamorous beaches of St. Tropez.
Eurocamp has also added Klein Canada to its list of Netherlands parks, a quirky, Canadian-themed resort that’s close to a national park and has indoor and outdoor pools.
In Spain, there are two new parks available to book: Alannia Costa Dorada and Alannia Els Prats. Both in the Costa Dorada region, known for its sandy beaches, the parks are also close to the lively PortAventura, one of the largest theme parks in Europe.
In Italy, two Eurocamps have been added to the Adriatic region: Internazionale Chioggia and Grande Italia. The former sits on a long stretch of beach along the Venetian Lagoon, while the latter has a private stretch of Blue Flag beach to itself. Both are ideal for day trips to nearby Venice too.
There will also be two new parks available on the sun-soaked Italian island of Sardinia. Baia Paradiso and Bella Italia Sardinia both offer direct beach access and are surrounded by the lush green pine forests that cover this pretty island.
And finally, Eurocamp will be putting down roots in a whole new country. Holidaymakers can book a stay at La Colline in Belgium, the first camp to open in the country. Set among the green hills of the Belgian Ardennes, the park will offer activities from hiking to cycling, and has pools, playgrounds, and trampolines on-site for kids to enjoy.

Tom Hiddleston is set to make his anticipated return to The Night Manager after almost 10 years
Almost a decade after its explosive finale captivated over 10 million viewers, hit BBC spy thriller The Night Manager is officially back with a bang.
Based on the characters created by John le Carré, the series followed Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), a night manager of a luxury hotel in Cairo and a former British soldier, who was recruited by the manager of a Foreign Office task force to infiltrate the inner circle of a dangerous arms dealer.
The award-winning drama returns to BBC One tonight (January 1) at 9pm as Pine takes on an explosive new case. The official synopsis teases: “Jonathan Pine thought he’d buried his past. Now living as Alex Goodwin – a low-level MI6 officer running a quiet surveillance unit in London – his life is comfortingly uneventful.
“Then one night, a chance sighting of an old Roper mercenary prompts a call to action and leads Pine to a violent encounter with a new player: Colombian businessman Teddy Dos Santos.”
Pine later meets a businesswoman who reluctantly helps him infiltrate Teddy’s Colombian arms operation. Once in Colombia, Pine is plunged deep into a deadly plot involving the training of a guerrilla army.
The logline concludes: “As allegiances splinter, Pine races to expose a conspiracy designed to destabilise a nation. And with betrayal at every turn, he must decide whose trust he needs to earn and how far he’s willing to go before it’s too late.”
Alongside Tom Hiddleston, the new season also stars Diego Calva as Teddy, as well as Camila Morrone as Roxana, Indira Varma as Mayra, Paul Chahidi as Basil, and Hayley Squires as Sally.
Olivia Colman reprises her role as Angela Burr, alongside returning cast members Alistair Petrie as Sandy Langbourne, Douglas Hodge as Rex Mayhew, Michael Nardone as Frisky, and Noah Jupe as Daniel Roper.
Where was The Night Manager filmed?
The Night Manager filmed across several diverse locations for season two, including the UK, Spain, Colombia and France.
Colombia serves as a major backdrop for the new storyline, with filming taking place at a villa in Girardot – four hours from the capital of Bogotá.
On the preparations that took place before production began in South America, screenwriter David Farr explained at the season two premiere: “Colombia is a very, very complex country, massively misunderstood. Everyone thinks it’s just completely dangerous and it’s totally not true. But for me, I think it was really important to sort of engage in that seriously. So we did.
“We went there properly, we met people, fantastic people. That’s the great luxury of being writers.”
Director Georgi Banks-Davies added: “We went on a massive global adventure because I’m a realist… I think we shot 96, 97 days across six months because of the travel.
“That meant going to the depths of every place, and that’s brutal. It’s really, really hard. You just can’t fake it, and my god, it was hot!”
Executive producer Stephen Garrett concluded: “We ended up slightly mad, Georgi and I and a couple of others. There were a few of us who ended up in daily shirt wars, just because they would be destroyed on a daily basis, because we got, sorry to say, so sweaty.
“Weirdly, one of the challenges we had in post [production] was communicating the heat that we were actually experiencing.”
The Night Manager season 2 premieres on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 9pm on Thursday, January 1

Wake Up Dead Man A Knives Out Mystery filming locations including famous forest – The Mirror
Wake Up Dead Man is the third film in Rian Johnson’s famous murder mystery trilogy, Knives Out, and most of it was filmed in the UK.

Everything you need to know about the Wake Up Dead Man filming locations
The third Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man, is now streaming on Netflix after previously hitting cinemas last month. The blockbuster stars former James Bond actor Daniel Craig, who reprises his role as Detective Benoit Blanc, and The Crown’s Josh O’Connor as Rev. Jud Duplenticy. While the murder mystery movie is set in upstate New York, most of its filming locations were actually in the UK.
Wake Up Dead Man takes place in the fictional small village of Chimney Rock in upstate New York, with many of the scenes unfolding in the local church, Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude. In reality, much of the filming was carried out in a magnificent Neo-Gothic church in Essex, while the English countryside stood in for the Hudson Valley.
Last summer, production started in Epping Forest, where the Holy Innocents Church at High Beach was chosen for the exterior shots of the church. Vicar Reverend Jane Yeadon ensured her involvement on set was included in the contract, enabling her to safeguard the historic 19th-century building throughout the shoot.
Production Designer Rick Heinrichs previously revealed to journalists that it proved “devilishly hard to find a church [in England] that didn’t look at least several centuries too old for a U.S. church”. While Holy Innocents Church fit the bill with its “storybook-like charm”, its interior proved “too small for the job”, meaning this had to be constructed from scratch by the production team.
Essex wasn’t the only UK filming location used for Wake Up Dead Man, as a property on a Guildford estate in Surrey doubled as Vera Draven’s (Kerry Washington) residence. The Wicks mausoleum and groundskeeper’s cabin were also purpose-built within Surrey’s Winterfold Forest.

Everything you need to know about where Man vs Baby was filmed
Man vs Baby is a four-episode series set in London and it follows Rowan Atkinson as Trevor Bingley, who has traded his house-sitting duties for the role of school caretaker. Trevor discovers himself caring for an unplanned little visitor after a baby is abandoned at a school nativity.
Most of the series takes place at a luxury London penthouse, but the apartment is not real. Director David Kerr explained to Reach and other press: “It was a set build, but the fact you had to ask is it a real penthouse, I hope that’s what people think when they watch it.”
Some of the scenes were filmed in Piccadilly Circus and its famous underground station. Trinity Square and the Tower Hill vicinity were also used as sets, as well as Myatt’s Fields Park on Cormont Road in Camberwell.
Viewers may also recognise St James’s district of Westminster and, outside of London, Ongar Railway Station in Chipping Ongar, Essex. At the start of the series, Trevor’s house is in Hertfordshire, but he is forced to leave to attend an important job interview in London.
