Several of the shops are meant to be discounted and some do seem to have sale prices a lot of the time but I wouldn't really describe it as chock full of bargains by any means. There's a food court which overlooks a pretty marina with its assortment of yachts and boats. A MacDonalds on the outskirts and a Costa Coffee within the village itself add to the eating and drinking possibilities. I'd describe it as a nice place to visit for a morning or afternoon out if you're in the area but you may be disappointed if you travel many miles to shop here as it doesn't compare to serious shopping venues such as the Trafford Centre and in all honesty I don't think it would make any claim to.

I agree with the previous review: it's a really good place to visit but if you're comparing it to…read moreMcArthur Glen or any of the larger outlets you'll be a bit disappointed. It's got the essential M&S and Next Clearance though, so I was happy enough! The play area is a massive bonus for those of us with men and kids: one place to dump them both for a couple of hours of shopping in peace! It's not the best in the world but it is perfectly adequate and if it's somewhere you don't visit often then there would be plenty to keep the kids amused. I liked the fact that at the end there's a sort-of marina, so you can watch the boats (ok, I only did it for about 2 minutes then got bored and went to buy chocolate in Thorntons instead, but I liked the idea of it). Definitely worth a visit if you're having a good old British holiday in Blackpool and want a bit of civilized retail therapy.

This is a rummage at best items are laid out by type (i.e. trousers, skirts, t-shirts etc) and by size. Yes some items are factory seconds but some aren't and if you find an item you like if there doesn't seem to be anything obviously wrong with it check it. Some imperfect items will have an imperfect label on the price tag but not always. Common flaws on the clothes sold: broken zips missing buttons loose threads seam not stitched pen marks Zips can be mended and if you need a replacement zip then go into one of the charity shops nearby as they stock zips from items that were too worn for sale and these are usually about 10p. Again the same with missing buttons. Loose threads can be cut and missing seams can be stitched. The pen marks is a common one and biro washes out. I managed to get Bench trousers for a fiver and a Ben Sherman top for £1. You have to be patient looking through this store and its always busy. There are a couple of changing rooms but these aren't that big. Word of advice about the jeans they sell, never take it for granted the size it says they are and what they actually are are the same. Some of the jeans they get are mislabeled so try things on or measure them. Staff are friendly and helpful. Brand names I've seen in this store are bench, Ben Sherman, Monsoon, M&S, Primark, TopShop, Levis and Lipsy and there are many more.

Their prices aren't cheap but you will get what you want here and they have a better selection of named rock here than in other places.

Italian chains Bella and Prezzo also have branches here. There also is a small number of shops just outside which I'm not sure if they are apart of the shopping centre including Ann Summers and Primark. The shopping centre isn't the nicest of places, there are a few entrances, including a nice glass one but it isn't the nicest of places as a whole, the location of Starbucks is slightly isolated due to being slightly cornered off, perhaps because of building work? The staff around the mall were low in number and the person I did speak too didn't seem to helpful.
