All your needs are catered for and every part of the experience has been considered. You might choose to be guided through by a personal stylist, using dedicated private spaces for discreet, bespoke service, or go treasure-hunting on your own for the thrill of tracking down that perfect piece. With exclusive access to presales and all the big names in fashion – from Balmain, Vivienne Westwood and the beloved Manolo Blahnik to a host of newly welcomed brands including Isabel Marant, Jil Sander, Elemis, Bella Freud, 7 For All Mankind, Soho Home, This Works and Eleventy – it’s hard to go wrong.
If you can’t make it to Bicester Village, there’s always the virtual shopping service, through which you can contact your favourite brands by WhatsApp, email or phone to start shopping. Any purchases will be delivered to your front door.
New members must be warned that the prices can be almost intoxicating, and that’s before the added members’ savings of up to 20 per cent off the Village price during the Bicester Village Private Sale. The event is on now, featuring the likes of The White Company, Le Creuset, Emma Bridgewater, Bamford, Sweaty Betty, Under Armour, New Balance, Reiss, BA&SH, Monica Vinader, Linda Farrow, Etro, Aquazzura, Bally, Hackett London, Belstaff and Barbour.
Such dizzying price drops can make you lose your head. Any regular visitor knows you’ll fall in love with pieces everywhere you look, so stop and enjoy a bite from the likes of Café Wolseley, farmshop restaurant & cafe from Soho House & Co, La Tua Pasta and – from April 11 – French tea room Ladurée, before securing those chosen gems, once again elevating the trip to an experience in itself.
And just like that, the day draws to a close. For some, the journey home is as simple as a short train ride back to Marylebone. They leave with outfits to die for at prices you can’t help but beam about. Because the chicest of all accessories is, of course, a smile.

For those of us that don’t spend enough time on ourselves, the idea of escaping the city to a world of calm and effortless taste is a holiday in itself.
It’s tempting to make a weekend of it, and some do, enjoying sights like the nearby Blenheim Palace, but the Village itself is enough of a draw for most.
Bicester Village offers a glamorous, open-air shopping experience. Elegant boutique stores cluster around pedestrian-only landscaped streets; paying homage to the English countryside’s quaint magic, the Village exudes an air of relaxation.

pring is all about reinvention, and for many of us that means renewing our wardrobe with style and quality. For a generation who grew up on Sex and the City but without Carrie Bradshaw’s baffling budget, designer destination Bicester Village has long been a byword for style, a place where the most desirable brands are attainable and not just a credit-card-battering pipedream.
Just 46 minutes by train direct from London Marylebone, and with ample free parking and reserved parking service for those who arrive by car, Bicester Village is a must-visit for fashionistas. But those truly in the know, the VIPs savvy enough to sign up for membership, realise that it’s much more than just shopping. Because while they love treats like the members’ Private Sale – now on and offering extra savings of up to 20 per cent off the Village price – they also understand that Bicester Village is a destination in itself. Even as some would-be Carries are fighting it out at sample sales elsewhere, visitors here have embraced the pace of Village life.
Nestled in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, the Village is an open-air shopping destination that’s home to more than 160 boutiques and lots of places to eat. It demands you make a day of it and turn your shopping into an experience. Let’s face it, if you’re going to splurge on luxury brands, you deserve to feel just that – luxurious.
