Discover the latest news and upcoming events
At Santa’s Lodge, you will learn all about the big man in red himself, Santa! Where did he learn the twinkling tricks of the trade? What is the knack behind the signature ‘Ho-Ho-Ho’? How does he really get around the world in one night?
This festive season, Ashford Designer Outlet will open the doors to Santa’s Lodge from 30th November. Step into the cosy cabin for a 30 minute experience and meet the cheeky elves for some fun and games.
The tickets for our Santa’s Lodge experience are £5 per child. All proceeds will be donated to our charity partner of the year, Dandelion Time.
A taste of magic
When it comes to Christmas food and drink at Ashford Designer Outlet, we like to think we’ve got it just right: classics with a festive twist and all the winter favourites. Go big with a yorkshire wrap with the trimmings or enjoy lattes infused with a shot of gingerbread – the perfect wintery treat on the go.
If you like to plan your day around your tummy (we don’t blame you), fuel up with a coffee and cake at Starbucks before starting your Christmas shopping. And plan a lunch at family-favourite Pizza Express or dinner at wagamama. You’ve got 14 foodie destinations to choose from so there’s always an option to suit.
From the 16th November, you’ll also discover our brand new Christmas market. Designed to keep your Christmas spirit topped up between shops! Looking forward to celebrating with you.
