MAKE MORE WISHES COME TRUE THIS CHRISTMAS AT THE BICESTER COLLECTION
his winter, The Bicester Collection™ is transformed into a festive wonderland with an immersive art installation from award-winning studio Wanda Barcelona. Known for its craftsmanship and design, Wanda Barcelona’s larger-than-life creations are made by hand from biodegradable cardboard and paper, which will be recycled after the season and reused. In this immersive environment, the Villages become the perfect escape for a day of memory-making, where wishes come true, and each moment is savoured.
Christmas is all about giving back while making your wishes come to life. The Bicester Collection’s DO GOOD charity programme enables guests to extend their wishes to those in need. DO GOOD initiatives will be rolled out across the Villages throughout the festive season: Ingolstadt Village and Wertheim Village partner with Samaritan’s Purse, inviting guests to drop off a shoebox filled with presents for children in need, while Kildare Village will partner with Barretstown charity – offering the opportunity to sponsor a tree for life that will be planted in Barretstown’s Enchanted Forest. Meanwhile, Fidenza Village, La Roca Village and Las Rozas Village will support children’s charity Make-A-Wish.
Each Village offers unique escapism with world-class shopping and more – local traditions and festive experiences including culinary delights, seasonal decorations, pop-ups, art, and music. The culinary indulgence starts at Bicester Village with the opening of Cecconi’s restaurant, together with the opening of first salon de thé Ladurée at Ingolstadt Village. You’ll find new winter menus with festive dishes and traditional treats in all of your favourite restaurants throughout the Villages. The festivity continues with live musical performances at Fidenza Village, Kildare Village, La Roca Village, Las Rozas Village, as well as a local artist takeover at Wertheim Village.
