One delighted shopper said: “I really enjoyed shopping at Bicester. Most brands are available at a minimum 30% discount. On certain days/ holidays stores offer additional discounts. I walked away with some great bargains!! There are some good dining options as well.
“The place does get crowded, especially on weekends. You will generally need an entire day for Bicester. Queues and wait time at stores can be long, so factor that in while deciding on the time you want to spend there. I spent a full day at Bicester, and felt it was not enough.”
This visitor said: “Great shopping experience,spent less than i thought considered the shops and choices,parking so easy and so easy to find”.
