This is a brilliant place to shop, especially for gifts and presents, there's lots of places to eat and dine and excellent places to relax and talk... There are also dog friendly shops, just look on the bottom of the door at the entrance to the shop and a sticker will provide you with the information... There's plenty of car parking spaces, I've never failed to find a place to park, even when it looks really full the shopping area is comfortable to wander around and do your shopping... The Designer Outlet is a must, especially at Christmas time, if you didn't feel festive on arrival then you certainly will on leaving... The guest services are very friendly and helpful, I had an issue when misplacing my reading glasses. Carole at the desk helped me in locating them and was very pleasant... My favourite local shopping experience as I only live approximately 3 miles away ...I feel so fortunate in having this shopping outlet so near to home... Highly recommended... Just an additional update, the main food hall is out of service at the moment, due to repairs, but do not despair, as I've previously stated, there's plenty of places to dine and relax... And of course, is still highly recommended...

I recently visited the Designer Outlet East Midlands for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! Despite how busy it was, and the initial challenge of finding a parking spot, we eventually managed to get one. The outlet has some fantastic offers, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to shop for quality items at great prices. Definitely worth a visit!

Shopping is the best therapy. This is one of the happiest therapy session weve had

Great place to take the family for shopping. We went on the weekend and it was really busy. The car park was quite full, but there is an additional overflow car park, which had plenty of parking space and electric charging points. The outlet has a wide range of shops with good discounts. There are several places to have lunch in between shopping. A central customer information point is also available with toilets and baby changing facilities. Overall, I had a great day out with the family.

Good outlet, shops always have nice finds in them, great prices and deals too! It’s a shame the food court still isn’t sorted, would love to know when it’ll be sorted.
