    the above mentioned Bicester Village - beware - overflowing with people and no parking to be had last weekend - what recession?
  • The kinnerton factory shop is now based in Aldiss department store, White Horse Street, which is in the Town centre.

    Does anyone know of any factory shops for plants or flowers? I know of one but don't fancy a trip to East Anglia...

    Where is there one in East Anglia? I am intigued, we live in Northamptonshire so might be worth a trip!

    thought I would map the various factory shops documented on this thread on to a google map. here is the link, still updating it but got a few on so far.

    hope this link works. let me know if it doesnt.

    click here

    blue's are outlet centre/ out of town shopping centres etc...

    red's are shops that are alleged to be cheaper

    Greens are what I think might just be factory shops

    full string

  • Yes, the link works, what a great idea and very impressive, I wouldn't know where to start!!

  • Hi - the map is a great idea, can I add a good factory shop too please?

    It's Label Traders

    sells discounted ladies, mens, kiddies and some homeware, mostly bedding, towels etc.

    If you join their (free) VIP scheme they'll mail you with their special sale days too plus you get an additional discount on any purchases.
    M&S, republic, next stuff amongst others.

    It's about a mile from the East Midlands Designer village nr j28 of M1 and has plenty of parking.

    Directions - continue past the east midlands designer village on the A38 heading towards Mansfield for approx 1 mile. Turn left at the 5th set of lights (by big pub Ashfields), continue for 500m - factory shop on left, open 7 days/wk.
