The official opening date of the new Cotswolds Designer Outlet has been revealed.

Coming to Tewkesbury just off the M5, the retail destination has already seen most of the units sold and is expected to rival Bicester Village in Oxfordshire.

Plans last summer stated the site aimed to open in spring of 2025, but this has now been pushed back to summer.

Bosses behind the arrival of the shopping destination previously confirmed in April that the doors would open in July.
