Chris Davis, centre director at Clarks Village, said: “We’re thrilled to see such a strong uplift in both sales and footfall at Clarks Village. These results speak volumes about the continued appetite for experience-led, in-person shopping, and reinforce the vital role physical retail plays in today’s landscape.

“Clarks Village is more than a shopping outlet, it’s a day-out destination where guests can enjoy a relaxed shopping experience with exclusive outlet discounts at designer brands and high street favourites alongside all-day dining, stunning landscaped gardens and seasonal events.
