Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox shopping mall Bicester Village is a designer outlet shopping centre on the outskirts of Bicester, a town in Oxfordshire, England. It is owned by Value Retail plc.[1] The centre opened in 1995.

The centre is the second most visited location in the United Kingdom by Chinese tourists, after Buckingham Palace.[2]

Expansion

On 17 April 2015 Cherwell District Council approved plans to demolish the nearby Tesco store and to construct a further 28 retail units and an extra 519 parking spaces. A new Park & Ride and major road improvements, funded by the centre's owners, were also announced.[3] It was hoped that this expansion would create around 3,500 new jobs in Bicester Village.[4] The new stores opened on 19 October 2017.
