Are you a self-proclaimed shopaholic? Do you get that adrenaline rush every time you step into a shopping mall or outlet? If you answered yes to both of those questions, then Bicester Village should be your next destination for a day out. Our Editor in Chief, Laura Bartlett, spent the day at Bicester, and here, she shares how you can follow in her footsteps to have a dream day out as a shopaholic.
Located just outside of London, Bicester Village isn’t just another designer outlet; these guys are the GOAT. With over 160 boutiques featuring top luxury fashion brands like Burberry, Gucci, Prada, and more. Have I died and gone to heaven because this place is a shopaholic’s personal heaven on earth.
After driving a few hours south from Leeds, I arrived at Bicester Village. Thanks to the pre-arranged concierge parking, I had a parking space with my name all over it, perfectly located next to The Apartments. The “by invitation only” Apartments are the ultimate way to kick off a day of shopping until you drop. I’ll be honest, at one point, I contemplated ditching the shopping altogether and just lounging on those sumptuous sofas. But let’s face it, we’re here to shop till we drop!
Now, here’s the real deal, the reason why shopaholics around the world flock to Bicester Village: the incredible discounts. We’re talking high-end fashion pieces at jaw-dropping prices. Imagine scoring that coveted designer handbag or those killer shoes you’ve been lusting after, all without breaking the bank. It’s a shopper’s paradise where dreams come true and credit cards get a workout. So, put on your most comfortable shoes (because trust me, you’ll be doing some serious walking) and prepare yourself for the shopping spree of a lifetime.
But wait, there’s more to this retail utopia than just fabulous fashion finds. Bicester Village knows that shopaholics need sustenance, and boy, do they deliver.

Indulge in a gourmet meal that will have you refueled and ready for round two of shopping madness. And here’s a tip: make sure to reserve a table at Cecconi’s. Their Italian delights will transport you to culinary heaven, and their salmon dish is simply divine. Oh, and don’t forget to pair it with a matcha latte that will leave your taste buds doing a happy dance.
