I am writing this a good few days before Christmas. The snow is piled high outside, the Oxfordshire countryside is picture postcard perfect and there is excitement in the air and the wonder of whether it will be a white Christmas.
Before I escape the snow for the sunnier climes (one does have to take some time off occasionally), I shall share with you some post Christmas shopping hints and tips if you’re thinking of hitting the sales as soon as the turkey is cold.
Bicester Village will be open on Boxing Day!
My advice is to plan your visit before you come. If possible take the train. It is much easier, so much more relaxing and the best way to avoid holiday traffic! If you are driving, then either come really early before the boutiques open, or come later in the afternoon after 3pm.
There will be many further reductions from our 130 designer brands starting on Boxing Day. Most boutiques will continue further reductions right through to the end of January, so there is no need to rush! Visit the brand directory online and plan which boutiques you really want to go to. If you haven’t been for a while I strongly recommend a visit to some of our new boutiques - Gucci, Roberto Cavalli, Superdry, Aubin & Wills, UGG and Hearts On Fire. Seeing is believing! Shop for investment and go for those classic fashion pieces that you will buy now and wear forever; and if you see something you like, DO NOT put it down. Chances are it won’t be there when you turn around. Also remember to check the offers page on the website before you come, then you can head straight for the bargains!
One last thing. If you’re not yet a Bicester Village Members, make sure you sign up! We will be sending members many exclusive shopping offers next year, as well as regular emails with updates of new boutique openings!
I would personally like to thank you all for reading our Bicester Village Blog and hope you enjoy it as much as we like writing it, and remember there is also our Facebook fanpage and Twitter for more up to the minute information.
On behalf of everyone at Bicester Village, we wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful, healthy and happy New Year.
Happy Shopping!
p.s. There is still time to enter our fabulous competiton to win a holiday to Barbados! Enter here before 8 January.
