Bicester Village profits rise 25 per cent with new openings

The shopping centre posted pre-tax profits of £1.607m for the year ending December 31, 2025 – up from £1.276m in 2024, which was a smaller rise from 2023 of 4.6 per cent.

Higher profits were helped by a boost in revenue which also went up in 2025 by 6.1 per cent from £96m to £102m.

Bicester Village was able to pay a dividend of £1.5m during the year (2024 saw £1m of dividends paid to shareholders).

It now has more than 160 designer brands, more than 10 cafes and restaurants and a children’s playground at the site off Pingle Drive.

Brands include Ralph Lauren, Vivienne Westwood, Valentino, Lacoste, Burberry, Armani, BOSS, and AllSaints.

Tourism is a big winner for the outlet centre with it being the second most visited place in the country by Chinese tourists after Buckingham Palace.

The year 2025 saw a host of new openings at Bicerster Village, including Fortnum & Mason which opened its first shop outside London in October.

Arc’teryx, a high performance outdoor equipment company known for leading innovations in climbing, skiing and alpine technologies, opened its first shop in October.
