McArthur Glen Bridgend?

Athravan

Was recommended a day out visit to McArthur Glen in Bridgend as she said it had loads of stores, all with permanent bargains / sales..

Has anyone else been, is it worth a visit?

Yes, well worth a visit.

There are lots of big name chainsore outlets:
Marks and spencer
Next to nothing
Goldsmiths
Whittards
Pilot

... loads more. No Monsoon, sadly.

Went there today , watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest then did a bit of shopping , picked up a pair of Lee Cooper jeans for £10 but didn't seem to be as many bargains today as there normally are and some prices are higher than elsewhere like in the Cadburys shop where they were selling out of date 500g bags of fruit allsorts for £1.99 , I bought a 215 g bag of the same in Asda for 49p dated 03/2007.

It's ok, but I wouldn't drive too far to visit and as has been previously stated, Next to Nothing has gone now which is a pity but they have one in Cardiff city centre which is good.

The parking however is getting worse and worse, often have to drive around a few times to find a space :mad:

Good bargains to be had in the outdoor shops however, (not quite such a fashion conscious clientele as maybe Pilot).

Never had a problem , the overflow car park around the back is ususally half empty.
