We went down tonight to check it out and what a brilliant space – it felt like we had a little bit of holiday beach right here in York.
The summer social space is at the south entrance of the designer outlet (the side where Claire’s accessories is and where the ice-skating goes in the winter) We went down for about 5.30pm which was ideal as it wasn’t too busy, the weather was still great and we were able to get some tea from the food court to bring outside and enjoy in the social space.
There is a big beach area with plenty of picnic tables and benches plus lots of deck chairs. There are buckets, spades, beach toys and sieves for the kids to play in the sand.
There are also lots of games to play including a basketball hoop wall, ping-pong and a decent size crazy golf too! And the best part – it’s all COMPLETELY FREE! The kids played for hours. The outlet shuts at 8pm but we were there for a while after and people were still milling around in the late evening sun. Just gorgeous.
You just need to go into the customer services area in the outlet (just inside the south entrance doors) to get the golf clubs and balls or pingpong bat and balls – then return them when you’ve finished.
It’s going to be a really popular space this summer so get along and check it out!
Open Monday – Saturday 9.30am – 8pm, Sunday 10am – 6pm
