McArthurGlen Outlet Village

At the McArthurGlen Swindon Designer Outlet you will find all the labels you love ... but with a difference, with hugely reduced prices. Without doubt you will always find something that will catch your eye!

There is a fabulous selection of stores were you will find adults and children’s clothing, sportswear, jewellery, homeware, footware, toys, books and luggage.

But what makes Swindon Designer Outlet unique is its setting in the splendidly-restored Victorian buildings of the Great Western Railway works, where original memorabilia has been restored. A rare collection of overhead cranes, adorn the malls while a large central food court is dominated by a Great Western locomotive.
