Ashford Designer Outlet
McArthurGlen’s Ashford Designer Outlet, located in the Heart of Kent, stands as the prime retail destination, delivering a compelling shopping experience in Ashford.
McArthurGlen’s success can be attributed to its fantastic location next door to Ashford International Station, ensuring it is attracting shoppers from far and wide – less than 30 minutes away from Dover Port, and just 38 minutes away by high-speed rail from the capital, shoppers visit from London - as well as from Kent and across the English Channel.
Surrounded by picturesque grounds and featuring a distinctive tented structure designed by Lord Richard Rogers, the Designer Outlet expanded in 2019 to include one of Europe’s largest living walls, adding to its architectural allure. With the addition of 45 prominent designer brands such as Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and Under Armour, Ashford Designer Outlet has solidified its status as the premier shopping destination in the Southeast.
“Ashford Designer Outlet has evolved since our expansion was completed in 2019, which included Europe’s largest living way and a new food piazza. Since the expansion opened, we’ve welcomed many fantastic new brands, including the likes of Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Sweaty Betty, Rituals, The North Face and many more.”
