Cotswolds Designer Outlet, the newly-developed outlet shopping centre in Gloucestershire, has announced its official opening.

The centre – located at the gateway to the Cotswolds – will open on Wednesday 16th July, unveiling 50 new stores along with eateries.

Retailers which are opening at the centre include Reiss, Hobbs, Jack & Jones, The North Face, The Body Shop, BOSS, Levi’s, Adidas, Sweaty Betty, and Rituals. There will also be local businesses showcased at the scheme including KNEAD Bakery and The Patisserie Box, whilst food and beverage options include Five Guys, Wagamama, Zizzi, Pret A Manger, Caffé Nero and 200 Degrees.

The development is located in the North Gloucestershire countryside, and is accessible from the M5 motorway via Junction 9. The scheme offers parking spaces and a bank of EV charging stations, and on weekends and bank holidays a newly-introduced shuttle bus service will operate every 30 minutes from the centre of the nearby town of Tewkesbury.

Adrian Field, centre manager at Cotswolds Designer Outlet, said: “We’re really excited to be able to share the official opening and invite shoppers and diners to join us in the opening period from Wednesday 16th July onwards, and enjoy a range of activities and entertainment. We look forward to welcoming visitors throughout July and into the summer holidays for an initial peek at Cotswolds Designer Outlet.

“As it draws closer, we are gearing up to opening the doors to the public and showcasing years of planning and building that’s been ongoing behind the scenes. Everything is taking shape and I’m looking forward to it all coming together as the finished Cotswolds Designer Outlet. We’re proud to be supporting local businesses, independent retail and the local community over the launch period.”
