Discover Summer at the Centre – The Ultimate Seasonal Guide to Fox Valley

As we’ve seen the last of spring fade away (fingers-crossed), it’s finally time to say hello summer here at Fox Valley. Whether you’re updating your wardrobe, planning exciting outings, or stocking up on all the summer essentials, we’ve got everything you need to make this season one to remember.

This summer we’re in for a treat as the Fox Valley markets have returned. The next market date will take place on July 12th and 13th (Saturday and Sunday). The market is set to also take place in September, October and December this year. As always, the markets will radiate a warm, community vibe, with a brilliant mix of makers and stalls - perfect for the whole family to explore and enjoy.

The celebrations don’t stop there and will be continuing into June. Foodies are in luck, as our scrumptious lunchfest is back just in time to celebrate our 9th birthday. The free entry event will host over 40 food and drink traders, children’s rides, and live entertainment.

Think blue skies, sunshine beverages, and even a well-deserved summer holiday.  Ponti’s Italian Kitchen is the perfect suntrap for those who like to enjoy a spot of lunch, and a refreshing drink in the sun.

Planning a summer getaway? Look and feel your best this summer season - Boots has a great selection of travel minis and holiday favourites, so you won’t have to leave any of your beauty favourites behind. For those planning a UK staycation, don’t let the summer showers catch you out. Be ready for all occasions. Head over to Mountain Warehouse, Regatta  and Go Outdoors as well for staycation must-haves like fleeces and camping essentials.

This summer will be a first at Fox Valley for our fabulous new tenants: fancy a summer beauty rebrand? Mother and daughter duo: Karen Wilson-Maude and Sophie Dakers have brought The Penthouse Hair and Beauty to the Independent Quarter, you can find the salon above Foxy Nails.

Self-care doesn’t stop at hair and beauty, The Wellness Space has brought the best aesthetic treatments from LA and Harley Street to Fox Valley. The medi-spa, headed by Dr Hannah Moore offers doctor led treatments in a chic, tranquil clinic space.

Over in the main piazza, a special pop-up Sandersons store (currently stocking Barbour) has temporarily opened its doors to savvy shoppers looking for luxury without hefty price tags.

Another very exciting addition to the centre is Shackletons! The new concept furniture and homewares store has occupied a large unit at the entrance of the centre and features a gorgeous range of home and garden furniture, not to mention, a sophisticated coffee shop located on the first floor. Shackletons proudly stocks a full range of sophisticated accessories from British-based designers, Gallery.
