The event - running from 10am-8pm Friday and Saturday and 10am-6pm on Sunday - starts with a deluxe red carpet waiting at the entrance that leads shoppers into a supersize dome complete with snow machine and festive lighting.

Highlights include:

• Complimentary beverages and canapés

• A live pianist playing Christmas songs throughout the day, as well as local bands and choral singers

• A raffle bauble tree where everyone is a winner. Prizes include 10% Privilege Cards, products from stores, McArthurGlen shopping vouchers and the chance to win a day out in a top-of-the-range sports car

• A Christmas photo booth

Shoppers can register for the Privilege Club online at: www.ashforddesigneroutlet.com

Invitations to the exclusive VIP Christmas experience can still be received even if signing up on the day. The 10/20% Privilege Cards are now usable in more stores in the centre than ever before and upon registering, there is also the opportunity to enter a prize draw to win £500.

There will be no need to worry about parking as shoppers will receive on the day a special ticket entitling 20% off the valet services from the onsite car valeting team.

As well as the VIP event, the Ashford Designer Outlet serves as a one-stop-shop for all seasonal gift shopping needs.

With over 80 designer and high street stores offering discounts of up to 60% such as French Connection, Jaeger, Lacoste, Reiss and Ted Baker, shoppers will be in for a treat with an extra special 10% off on top of the usual savings.
