Britain’s biggest family, the Radfords, enjoy a pre-Christmas break at Center Parcs ahead of their festive TV special

Britain’s biggest family enjoyed a festive Center Parcs outing this weekend – ahead of their special Christmas broadcast on Channel 5 this weekend.

Parents Sue, 48, and Noel, 52 – from Morecambe, Lancashire – have 22 children and took some of their brood along to enjoy the Winter Wonderland experience at the holiday campsite, which offers cozy huts and outdoor activities for all the family.

Snaps on the family’s Instagram Stories, @theradfordfamily – where they have 517,000 followers – documented the fun day out as they all explored the resort decorated for the holidays.

One clip saw everyone marveling at a huge Christmas tree arch with fun alternating lights, while another clip also saw the crew enjoying the winter decor, with one area decorated to look like an elf’s front yard.

The weekend away means the family has taken at least 20 holidays in recent years, including Sue and Noel’s anniversary trip to Dubai, an extended family getaway in Florida and several weekend getaways in their camper.

The family also stopped for something to eat at The Pancake House. Elsewhere, the family posed with actors in Christmas-themed costumes.

Sue also enjoyed a mulled wine to warm up during the day. It is not clear whether the family spent a night or simply traveled for a day.

Prices at Center Parcs’ Whinfell Forest site in Cumbria – closest to where the family live – currently show the cheapest three-bedroom cabins at £499 for three days, with the most expensive lodge option at £999 for the same duration.

It comes as the Radfords earlier this month teased an upcoming Christmas special which will air on Channel 5 this weekend.

Sharing one Instagram photo of the brood gathered around a dining table – and sporting festive ensembles – Sue and Noel wrote: ‘WE HAVE EXCITING NEWS! We will be back on your screens at Christmas!!!

’22 Kids and Counting at Christmas’ airs on Channel 5 on Sunday 17 December at 8pm!’

Meanwhile, Sue shared some photos of her family’s extravagant Christmas decorations last week – and gave her followers a long-awaited health update.

The mother of 22 adored her Instagram stories to present a range of inflatable outdoor decorations.

In the posts, Sue also showed off her cozy living room, with a cozy fireplace covered in stockings.

The room had a Christmas tree covered in festive decorations, including candy cane ornaments.

Despite starting the season in style, Sue described the month as ‘terrible’ due to her rib pain, but thankfully she has noticed some improvement.

She wrote: ‘A lot of people ask about my rib, it’s still really sore but luckily I didn’t cough too much last night or today.

‘Last night, for the first time in a month, I certainly wasn’t kept awake all night by coughing fits.

‘And when I went to school today I didn’t have to cough every minute, so I hope I’ve turned a corner.

‘It’s been a terrible month and I really sympathize with everyone with this terrible cough. Hopefully my husband can sleep well now.’

Despite Sue’s poor health, Sue managed to decorate the halls inside and out.

On the outside, the mom added an inflatable Santa in a hot air balloon, which she admitted “took way too long… to get up.”

She then added a festive arch featuring a snowman with the words “Merry Christmas.”
