Retail Revival: How the Cotswold Designer Outlet is Positively Transforming Tewkesbury

The Game-Changer: Cotswold Designer Outlet

The much-anticipated Cotswold Designer Outlet is transforming the landscape just outside Tewkesbury. With over 90 premium brands offering outlet prices, this high-profile development is already attracting:

  • International tourists in search of designer bargains
  • Day-trippers from across the Midlands and South West
  • New jobs and economic investment to the local area
  • Increased footfall to nearby towns, independent shops, and cafés

Its impact is clear: Tewkesbury is no longer just a charming market town — it’s now a retail and leisure destination with national appeal.

 

Why Tewkesbury is the Perfect Base

What makes Tewkesbury unique is its balance of historic charm and modern convenience. Just minutes from the M5 and on the doorstep of the Cotswolds, it’s an ideal base for:

  • Shopping weekends
  • Business stays
  • Exploring local heritage
  • Family breaks in the countryside

With iconic attractions like Tewkesbury Abbey, timber-framed architecture, and riverside walks, it offers a quintessential Cotswold experience with a more relaxed and affordable feel.
