Bicester Village at 30: A Style Destination with Staying Power
Bicester Village officially turns 30 this year and with that milestone comes a reminder of just how far this Oxfordshire town has come. Once a quiet spot on the map, Bicester is now an internationally recognised shopping and lifestyle destination that attracts millions of visitors each year.

Bicester Village has evolved from a quiet retail outpost into one of the UK’s most visited shopping destinations, attracting fashion lovers from around the world. Over the past 30 years, it has grown into a luxury retail hub, home to over 150 designer boutiques, fine dining options, and a seamless visitor experience that blends international glamour with Oxfordshire charm.

A Town That’s Evolved
Over the last three decades, Bicester has evolved into one of the UK’s top destinations for designer shopping, thanks to the rise of Bicester Village.

It’s not just visitors taking notice – businesses, homeowners, and investors are increasingly seeing the value in Bicester’s growing popularity. That means more demand for quality short-term accommodation, and that’s where we come in.
