This festive season, the Village is transforming into a Storybook Christmas wonderland, blending yuletide charm with effortless convenience to create the perfect holiday outing.
The Shopping Experience: Effortless and Exclusive
From the moment you arrive, VIP and valet parking ensure a smooth and luxurious start to your day, whisking you right into the action. For those seeking a moment of calm before diving into the boutiques, The Apartment offers a relaxing space to enjoy a hot drink and a pastry while planning your visit.
The shopping itself is second to none. With over 160 luxury brands offering discounts on top of their off-pricing, the Village is the ideal place to tick off your Christmas list or treat yourself to something special. Members also enjoy exclusive deals and invitations to events, guaranteeing a worthwhile experience.
To make your visit even easier, the hands-free shopping service allows you to explore without the burden of bags, collecting your purchases in one convenient stop as you leave.
A Tasteful Addition to Your Day
Bicester Village doesn’t just cater to your wardrobe; it also satisfies your appetite. Scattered throughout the Village are carefully curated food spots designed to complement your shopping day.
Begin with a sweet treat from Oliphant’s Bakery, where their freshly baked cinnamon buns – fresh out the oven and likely the best you’ll ever taste – offer a warming start to your visit. Pair one with a cup of rich, velvety coffee to set yourself up for the day.
To round off a complete day out, Ottolenghi has chosen to set up a camp right in the heart of the village. His healthy, vibrant and fun dishes are the only way to enjoy luxury guilt-free whilst you shop. Make sure to try:
- Labneh with confit garlic and pita chips: a creamy and tangy dip with a warm, garlicky finish.
- Lamb skewers with pickles and garlic sauce: juicy, perfectly spiced, and ideal for winter comfort.
- Grilled prawns with courgette, chilli, and lime butter: a zesty, satisfying option to energise your day.
- Roasted beetroots with tarragon and tarator: earthy and herbaceous, for a lighter yet fulfilling dish.
