A Shopper’s Guide to Junction 32 Yorkshire Outlet Shopping

15/01/22 ᛫ Add a Comment

This month I hit the winter sales at Junction 32, my favourite West Yorkshire Outlet Shopping centre. I’ve been visiting and working with Junction 32 for 9 months now, so I thought I’d share a little guide about how to get the most out of your visit. From the best places to eat and the best times to visit, here’s my shopper’s guide to Junction 32.

This blog post has been sponsored by Junction 32 Yorkshire Outlet Shopping. All views are my own.



What’s on offer at Junction 32

?

You can expect to find over 70 high street stores and brands at Junction 32, all offering up to 60% off the RRP, all year round. This includes stock from past seasons, bestselling styles and occasional current must-haves. I once picked up a jumper from the Levi’s shop which I saw in Selfridges just a couple of weeks before!

Junction 32 is an open-air shopping centre, but there is still plenty of shelter and canopies if you’re visiting during a rainy day. Some of my favourite brands at Junction 32 include Nike, Next, New Balance, The Body Shop, M&S, Jack Wills, Denby and Adidas (check out the full list here) . With so many stores covering fashion, homeware, interiors and beauty, a visit to Junction 32 is like a one-stop-shop. Another bonus is that it has 1,400 free parking spaces.

A Shopper's Guide to Junction 32

The best times to visit

Through the year there are opportunities to get even more discounts on top of the outlet prices and the discount sales during the Winter and Summer are brilliant. It’s also worth knowing that Junction 32 is open til 8pm on weekdays, meaning after work shopping is most definitely a thing!

On site facilities

As a mum, I love that Junction 32 is family friendly and caters for little ones with a brilliant outdoor play area which is hidden away in the centre of the shops. There are also baby changing facilities and Junction 32 is part of the Breastfeeding Friendly Scheme.

Whenever I visit with my son, we always let him blow off some steam in the play area before squeezing in a few more shops. There are also two award-winning toilet blocks and benches are spread around the centre.

For those with mobility limitations, wheelchairs and scooters can be hired free of charge. For more info and to see the full list of on-site facilities visit the Junction 32 website.

The best places to eat

There are plenty of places to stop and grab a coffee or a light bite to eat at Junction 32 including Starbucks, Greggs and Costa. If you’re looking for more of a substantial meal, hop over the road to Xscape Castleford where you can choose from restaurants such as Pizza Express, TGI Fridays, Ask Italian, Five Guys, Nandos and Heavenly Desserts.

What I bought in January

This month I visited Nike and New Balance to find some discount activewear to motivate me to continue my physio and knee rehab in the gym. A few of the bargain items I picked up included Nike yoga leggings for £23.95 (RRP £47.95) and a Nike workout top for £13.95 (RRP £27.95).

I also found a great pair of workout leggings in New Balance which were reduced to just £19 (RRP £40), as well as a gorgeous pair of pastel-coloured New Balance trainers for £63 (RRP £90).

Finally, I popped in to Next where I found this light forest green coat which would be perfect for transitioning from winter to spring (£50). This is just a little flavour of some of the discounts on offer at Junction 32.

Yesterday we hopped off the ship at Rotterdam and spent the day in Amsterdam on a shore excursion with a river cruise and 3 hours free time. We also found the best kept secret in Amsterdam, especially for foodies. Head to my stories to see what we got up to ⚓️

If you’re curious about any aspect of cruising leave a question as a comment and i’ll let you know! 💓

Hi guys 👋🏼 I’m so excited to share that th Hi guys 👋🏼 I’m so excited to share that this Sunday I’ll be setting sail with @princesscruises for my second ever cruise.

Some of you may remember I experienced a cruise for the first time back in 2018 with Princess Cruises, embarking on an epic 10 day adventure around Russia and Scandinavia (swipe right for throwback photos). 

This time our 5 day cruise will be departing from Southampton and calling at Rotterdam, Bruges and Guernsey. 3 new entirely destinations for me to explore and share. I’m especially excited to see Rotterdam as it’s my Grandma’s home town and the place of my Dutch roots. 🇳🇱 

We also get a “sea day” which gives us time to enjoy all the luxurious facilities on board our ship, #EnchantedPrincess.

I’ll be travelling with some fabulous fellow content creators including @kirstyleannetravels @charliepauly @laurenacliffe @bonnierakhit @joshuanueva. Be sure to give them all a follow to see the same trip from different perspectives. 

Have you ever thought of doing a cruise or are you already a cruise covert? Hope you can all follow along 🚢 💫

I took Theo and my parents so we were able to sample lots of different dishes (as well as the kids menu) and we were all so impressed with both the quality of the food and also the service. 

The menu is a very international so you can pretty much eat your eat around the world in three courses (or stick to one type of cuisine). But either way there’s definitely something to appeal to everyone around the table

Here are my recommendations from Bill’s new menu;

Starters
✔️ Cheese and truffle fondue with sour dough bread - hands down the best of the 3! Ridiculously good
✔️ Burrata and chargrilled red peppers - insane creaminess in the Burrata, my Dad loved it
✔️ Crispy calamari with roast garlic and basil aioli - a staple starter for me! You cannot go wrong 
✔️ Bill’s sticky duck salad - so light, fresh and flavoursome 

Mains 
✔️ Bill’s sea bass thali - What I ordered. An Indian feast on one plate with so many elements. Loved it!
✔️ Halloumi shawarma - a strong choice from my Mum, I kept stealing her halloumi 
✔️ Miso salmon and aubergine - My Dad raved about this. I was also tempted to order it

Dessert 
✔️ Chocolate and salted caramel tart 
✔️ Eton colada 

The kids menu was also great at £5.95 for two courses and a side, and lots of great / tasty / healthy options beyond the classic kids menu dishes.

Thanks to the team at York Bill’s for such a great experience ✨

Which of the above dishes sound like a bit of you? 🤤🍽

New on the blog is my review of @columbia_beach_resort, which I visited with my family in March with @jet2pics. Find my full review via the link in my bio. 👆🏼#Jet2Cyprus 

Whilst this was a press trip, I researched and selected the hotel myself, and it didn’t disappoint. A few reasons why I chose Columbia Beach Resort:

🍋 It’s part of @smallluxuryhotels 
🍋 Spectacular beach front location
🍋 Beautiful aesthetics whilst also child-friendly
🍋 30 minute transfer from Paphos airport
🍋 Excellent Trip Advisor reviews on food and service
🍋 Kids clubs for babies to age 3 and ages 4-12 (free for 4-12)
🍋 Small play area and shallow children’s pool 

This holiday was part of an Indulgent Escapes package with Jet2Holidays, which come with lots of additional benefits such as:

🌥25kg baggage allowance per person
🌥 Private transfers to and from your hotel
🌥 Priority lane passes through security
🌥 A round of complimentary drinks on board your Jet2 flight (including beer and wine)
🌥 A luxurious gift on arrival at the airport (ours was a beautiful leather travel wallet)

All of these little extras really added up to make our journey so much easier and more enjoyable, especially the priority lane pass at @leeds_bradford_airport and the private transfers on arrival. The driver even had a toddler car seat so we didn’t need to worry about bringing one along with us. I was so impressed.

Hope this review comes in handy for some of you! Check out the blog post and feel free to ask any further questions about this hotel in the comments ☀️
