Ashford Designer Outlet

Web Links Location Local station Ashford International
Shopping
Food & Drink

McArthurGlen’s Ashford Designer Outlet is situated in the heart of Kent, the Garden of England. Conveniently located just five minutes walk away from Ashford International train station and less than 30 minutes from the Port of Dover and the Eurotunnel terminal, it is the best place to find all the designer brands you love under one roof. Set in exceptional grounds and under a tented structure designed by Lord Richard Rogers, a brand-new phase opened in 2019 and houses Europe’s largest living wall, the architecture is worth the visit alone. There are around 1400 parking spaces offering free parking after 5pm and nine free electric charging points and coach parking facilities.

The centre has over 90 of your favourite brands which include: Abercrombie & Fitch, Adidas, All Saints, Belstaff, Ben Sherman, Calvin Klein, Fred Perry, Hobbs, Hugo Boss, Kate Spade, Kids Around, Levi’s, Maje, Michael Kors, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Puma, Reiss, Sandro, Ted Baker, The Body Shop, Tommy Hilfiger and many more all at up to 60% off the RRP.

While visiting, treat yourself to a meal at Pizza Express, Five Guys, Comptoir Libanais, Wagamama’s or a snack from Patisserie Valerie or Pret. Enjoy coffee in Starbucks next to the beautiful living wall, or Caffe Nero under the unique tented structure. If you fancy something different, sample the range of the street-food pop-ups.

There's a redesigned children’s play area featuring a seven-metre-high Robina tree house, fitted with specialist interactive elements including sensory equipment. 

Ashford Designer Outlet is a dog friendly centre. With its open air mall and specialised doggy water fountain, the centre welcomes your well behaved four legged friends in many of the 90 designer brand stores.  Just look for the dog friendly paw print in the window.

Discover dog friendly stores and restaurants over on the website www.ashforddesigneroutlet.com
