About the garden
Springfields Designer Outlet combines shopping and leisure across 25 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, including the award-winning Springfields Festival Gardens, which will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2026. With over 55 designer outlet stores and restaurants, a Blue Diamond Garden Centre, children’s Adventure Land park and a hotel, Springfields offers something for everyone, making it the perfect destination for a varied day out or weekend getaway.
The Springfields Festival Gardens feature themed, educational and inspirational gardens, along with water features, sculptures and woodland walks. The gardens also host several show gardens created by celebrities and designers, including Kim Wilde, Charlie Dimmock, Chris Beardshaw, and Stephen Woodhams. The Senses Garden is a peaceful sensory space designed to ensure accessibility and enjoyment for all visitors.
Open year-round except Christmas Day, the gardens are managed by the Springfields Horticultural Society, a charitable organisation dedicated to their care and development. The Festival Gardens provide a tranquil escape and an inspiring experience for visitors of all ages, offering free parking and one complimentary tea or coffee per visit.
