Went to Bicester village saturday. Has improved even more from last time I visited. Visited the following stores: Polo - Great size with a wide variety of options and even has a shoe section now. Prices are considerably cheaper than high street stores. Considering the classic polo design never changes, this is a bargain. Most important though is there are... More

You need more than one day at Bicester. It's amazing altho' the queue at Prada took my breath away, it was Bank Holiday Monday, so we had to go back on the Tuesday, what an understanding Husband I have, if you haven't got one of these, my advice is to leave Him at Home! We always visit when we are... More

“Not for Me”

Reviewed 14 May 2012

people found this review helpful

I adore shopping and, in all honesty, spend far too much on clothes. Despite the fact that it's only about an hour away, I rarely visit Bicester Shopping Village. I don't go there because, although what's on offer is discounted, the staff in the shops are, by far, the rudest that I have ever encountered. Hope triumphed over experience yesterday... More

“Worth a trip”

Reviewed 9 May 2012

people found this review helpful

This outlet shopping village is not cheap but a great day out. The best shops (in my opinion) are Ugg & Ralph Lauren as these were heavily discounted from usual retail prices and sale items if you are lucky too. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. More

Plenty of elite lovely brands' shops. Good prices as compared to central shops. It's an outlet where you can enjoy 2-3 days shopping! More

I went here on Saturday and It was great some real good bargains to be had, was a little manic but would do you expect on a Saturday. I have seen some reviews about how expensive this place can be, this did put me off slightly but I have to say I'm glad I went as it wasn't badly priced... More

Love shopping there as you can find real bargains, just recommend to avoid it on weekends and bank holidays as it became worst than Oxford street. More

Visited this w/e specifically to buy a good quality work bag. Had a fantastic choice, but only after doing my homework on the internet so I knew what was available beforehand & targeting the appropriate shops at the Village. Came away with a gorgeous Tumi leather bag reduced from £595 to £129, but could have bought from Furla, Burberry &... More

“Is this outlet shopping?”

Reviewed 16 April 2012

people found this review helpful

I didn't really know what to expect when I went to Bicester Village. I saw the list of brands and Gucci and Prada don't really do discount shopping but Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers certainly do...so I wasn't sure. Now I know! This isn't outlet shopping as you would find in the USA. It's much too upscale for that and... More
