Overview

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, Haynes Way, Cannock, WS11 7 JZ The shops do not open here until 10.00am sharp, although you can get coffee at Starbucks by 9.30am. We personally love this place, it’s so easy for disabled people, never overcrowded, very clean and well maintained, shops are very good and with reasonable costs, two cafes, Starbucks and Coffee 200, both small, but you can find space to place your wheelchair, and plenty of outside seating anyway. Each time we visit we find the “Lindt” chocolate shop, a bit expensive, but for those of us with diabetic problems, the chocolate is not as sweet as other makes, so we can cope. It’s a popular shopping outlet, and car park can get a bit full, but we always go nice and early, so never any problems. Our photos show a different approach into shops this time, and we used Starbucks instead of Coffee 200, but both places offer good coffee and cakes. We noticed that they now have a big wheel here, so kids may enjoy that ride. DO READ OUR PART ONE AND PART TWO REVIEWS TO GET A GOOD FEEL FOR OUTLET, ITS WORTH CHECKING IT OUT, A NICE TWO HOURS CAN BE SPENT HERE.

Transport & Parking

We parked on the disabled bays this time, and found it far better than first reviewed. READ McARTHURGLEN DESIGNER OUTLET WEST MIDLANDS PARTS ONE AND TWO As entering the car parks, follow road round on the left hand bend to start with, then cut right over to your right and follow section C sign, and keep going to the far end before following right to the many disabled bays available. If you park to the right at the very far end of the large car park when first entering the car park area, way over towards Slim Chickens, you can reach the shops on the level by following and cutting across on the black railings near to the end of the car park, ( see photos 1 and 2)

Access

It is a flat level approach from the car park in section C, on the disabled bays, and cut across through the black railings by zebra crossings towards Slim Chicken, and walk to its side, you will enter all the shops which are easy enough for all chairs to use, and the whole outlet is on the level. Just keep walking straight ahead until you arrive at the main square by Starbucks, ready for coffee, which open by 9.30am.

Toilets

Three main toilet blocks are available as you wander around the shops, all disabled friendly with room to move your wheelchair and scooter around in the cubicles. The toilet in Starbucks is down a short passage behind the serving counter, a bit narrow though, so you may struggle to use wheelchair, and it’s not that big inside, so you may have to leave chair where you are sitting and walk to it. HOWEVER, bear in mind that there are two main toilet blocks as you wander around, and these give room for all chairs to use SEE REVIEWS ONE AND TWO for more details and photos of toilets.

Staff

All very friendly and helpful, no problems at all.
