Here's what families can expect when they pay a visit to the popular shopping destination near Tewkesbury...
Free animal trail at Cotswolds Designer Outlet
Keep little ones entertained while you indulge in a spot of shopping with Cotswolds Designer Outlet's free animal trail this February half term.
From Saturday 14 until Sunday 22 February 2026, there's a host of colourful farmyard friends to find. Families can collect a trail sheet from Guest Services and scour the outlet to see if they can spot them all.
Then pop back to Guest Services once complete to collect a sweet treat and be entered into a prize draw to win a family ticket to CountryTastic at Three Counties Showground.
