The shopping experience itself is something not be ignored; customers will see the same faces in the departments, meaning that the staff know their stock and brands inside out.

There are large mirrors, relaxing music plays in the background enhancing the browsing experience and the outlet also has the brilliant gift of space.

Since the refit, the shopping area has doubled to 50,000sq ft and with all that extra room, brands have really been given the chance to shine including the hundreds of new brands that have joined the fold, bound to be of appeal to the younger clientele.

The shopping outlet is a hub for hats galore; there is a riot of bright colours, theatrical fascinators and larger-than-life hats, all perfect buys for a trip to the races or a wedding, there is also plenty of arm candy to purchase in the shape of handbags.
