GETTING HERE

By Car

Ashford Designer Outlet is conveniently located for easy access from the M20 motorway, off Junction 9, Junction 10, or 10a. Alternatively, the centre can be reached from the A20 and the A28. 

To find us using your sat nav, enter TN24 0SD.

Parking is £1* every four hours and free everyday from 5pm.

*Please note as of 6th June 2022, our car parking prices will rise to £2 for 4 hours due to the rising costs of maintenance. For the past 20 years, we have managed to avoid price increases but unfortunately, this is no longer viable due to the rising costs. The maximum charge for a whole day’s parking will be set at £4. Our car parks will still be free for guests staying for 30 minutes, blue badge holders, and everyone after 5 pm.

Disabled Parking available
