Cotswolds Designer Outlet Study Tour

A little industry insight, a little festive inspiration and perhaps some Christmas shopping too!

What does it really take to bring a brand new designer outlet to life, attract the right brands and create a destination that people want to visit?

Join Revo for a special festive study tour of Cotswolds Designer Outlet, a winner at The Revo’s 2025, as we go behind the scenes of one of the UK’s newest retail destinations.

From the initial vision and challenges of development to opening the doors and achieving full occupancy within its first year, this is a chance to hear the story from the people who made it happen.

We’ll be joined by the team at Multi-Realm, who will share their experience of bringing the outlet to market, the thinking behind the tenant mix and leasing strategy, and what they’ve learned along the way.

We’ll also explore how the outlet is finding its place within the local community, attracting visitors from across its catchment and responding to changing shopping habits. With plans for Phase 2 already on the horizon, there’s plenty to discover about what comes next.

What can you look forward to?

Hear the story first-hand. Meet the people behind the scheme and find out what worked, what proved challenging and what they’d do differently.
Get under the skin of the operation. Explore the realities of launching and running a new designer outlet, from leasing and marketing to the day-to-day visitor experience.
See behind the scenes. Enjoy a guided tour of the centre, including areas visitors don’t usually get to see.
Discover what’s next. Hear about the outlet’s ambitions, community connections and plans for future growth.
Catch up with industry colleagues. Share ideas, ask questions and enjoy the opportunity to connect with fellow Revo members.

And of course, it’s nearly Christmas…

We’ve timed this visit to make the most of the festive season, so once the study tour finishes, why not stay a little longer?

With the outlet looking its festive best, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore the stores, pick up a few Christmas presents (or treat yourself!) and enjoy the atmosphere.

A fascinating look behind a successful new retail destination, great company and a chance to tick a few things off your Christmas list. What’s not to love?
