Overview
SAT NAV OX26 6WD. BICESTER VILLAGE. BICESTER This is a shopping experience you do not want to miss, a “must see” delightful half day out, but because it is so popular a place, we want to offer you help on parking here, because the car parks can be really full at times, so see how we suggest you arrange your parking. These spaces are at the far right hand corner of the shopping village, and you need to drive past all the main car park areas to get round to it. If a parking attendant is available or comes up to you, explain you have a space booked and they will help you to reach the area. There are many bays available when pre-booked close to this last parking area (photo 1) but your allocated bay will be at the front (photo 2) very close to the shops. As you approach with your scooter or chair, the whole area is beautifully landscaped (photo 3) with greenery and colourful displays (photo 4) that lead to restaurants (photo 5) and shopping outlets (photo 6) which are of well known designers, so a bit expensive, but at much reduced prices as compared with town shops, and anyway, you do not need to spend a penny, just window shop as we have to do, it’s still a very interesting experience, just to see how the other half lives, we love this type of village, pit’s just a joy to wander around (photo 7) even for the men as there are shops just for them (photo 8) and there are seven blocks of toilet facilities available as you stroll through the village (photo 9) all beautifully maintained with lots of cubicles (photo 10) and disabled have plenty of room for all size chairs, with grab handles and pull cords (photo 11) There are seating areas all through the village (photo 12) so you and your carer can rest anytime you like, which will also help your wallet rest for a while, before you continue on your journey (photo 13). This is an ideal visit for disabled as it offers full support, and as stated, you do not need to spend, just enjoy. The village is only about an hours drive from London, about an hour and quarter from the midlands, and just an hour and a half from Bristol, with motorway connections to get you there easily. WE PERSONALLY RECOMMEND BICESTER VILLAGE TO OUR DISABLED FRIENDS. PLEASE READ OUR OTHER REVIEWS ON THIS VILLAGE AS WELL.
