Staff “ran in panic” before visitors were told to evacuate over loudspeakers, the witness claimed.
In the middle of the reported incident, a mass evacuation was carried out.
It is also understood that the power went out and emergency lighting was being counted on.
A witness who shared the video on X wrote: “There is currently a full evacuation underway at CenterParcsUK Whinfell Forest due to a ‘security incident’. Staff are running in panic.
“Shortly before the evacuation message was played over the loudspeaker, all power went out and the emergency lighting was turned on. The staff then herded everyone out of the building.
“A member of staff told me it was ‘not a fire’ but a ‘security incident’.”
A spokesman for Center Parcs told The Sun: “We understand there has been a very brief power cut this evening which has affected the local area around Penrith.”
