Autumn at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet York is shaping up to be an exciting season with seven brand-new shops and some fantastic half-term activities for families. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up!


New stores to explore
The big news is the arrival of Charles Tyrwhitt, a popular menswear brand known for its sharp shirts, suits, and stylish polos. Whether you’re looking for something professional or casual, this store is all about helping men look and feel their best—without the hassle.
Plus, they’re running an in-store recycling scheme where you can trade in your old shirts or suits (even if they aren’t Charles Tyrwhitt) for a discount. Not a bad way to refresh your wardrobe and do something good for the environment!
Other new arrivals include the seasonal Calendar Club pop-up, perfect for getting organised before Christmas, and Yankee Candle, where you can stock up on their famous scented candles—ideal for those cosy winter nights. Skopes, a British tailoring brand, is also set to open soon, bringing over 60 years of expertise in men’s fashion, and sportswear brand Castore will join them with high-performance gear designed for serious athletes.
And just in time for the festive season, Crocs will open a new shop with their iconic comfy shoes for everyone in the family.
Half-term fun for families
If you’re looking for things to do with the kids during half-term, McArthurGlen York has got you covered. From 19 October to 3 November, they’re hosting a Halloween Trail, where little ones can hunt down spooky Greta Gremlins hidden around the centre. And for those who love a challenge, there will be a Climbing Wall on 31 October and 1 November.
Plus, free face painting sessions are on offer, so your kids can leave looking like their favourite Halloween characters.
A new space to relax
Finally, Caffè Nero is relocating to a bigger, comfier spot with an outdoor terrace. Whether you’re stopping for a coffee break during your shopping spree or catching up with a friend, this cosy café will be ready to welcome you in late November.
If you’re around York or Leeds, this outlet is well worth a visit this season. From free parking to electric car charging stations, they’ve made it easy for everyone to enjoy a fun day out. To find out more about these openings and events.
