Bicester Village Monsoon. Anyone been?

Options
Is it worth an hours drive or has all the sale stuff been snapped up?

Would love to hear from a local!

  • Is there a sale on at the moment or do you just mean in general is it cheap? Sometimes I go and find loads of bargains other times there is nothing worth buying. I find it a bit hit and miss. (Sorry not much help).
  • I just thought that as normal Monsoon is 50% off and 70% off accesories, the same would apply to the outlet store.

    Years ago I went and it was amazing, jumpers down to a fiver and so on, embroidered pram shoes a quid.

    The next time I went they had moved to a different unit and it was rubbish! so I have not been back since.
  • It is in the bigger unit. I haven't been for a few months but I don't think the accessories are any good. Normally like a jumble sale. Sometimes there are bargain clothes. Normally I find stuff I love but only in size 8!! I think it is probably good if you are not average size.
    I would only go if you were planning to go to the other shops too. I wouldnt make a special trip to Monsoon. (and I love monsoon) Sorry to ruin your shopping trip. I have found better bargains just in local monsoons.

    Save your petrol money and shop on their website. It's rare, if ever, that I've seen an in shop item cheaper than on the website and I've been addicted to Monsoon for over 20years. Plus, they have all the available sizes listed.
    My top tip for Monsoon savings is by them BNWT on Ebay. Seriously! I bought several items on there in perfect / new condition for almost half the sale price during last season's sale.

    I went to Monsoon, Bicester Village, last week.
    Was looking for a jacket I'd seen last month. However, there wasn't much there last week, and the jacket had disappeared!:mad:
    I did get a £50 top reduced to £10 the time before, which was a bargain....then I realised it was Dry Clean Only, once I'd worn it! (washed it anyway on delicate, and it's fine! :D )
    There were loads of dull looking cardy things and lots of odds and ends in there last week....not worth a trip at the moment, I'd say.
