A day out for all the family at Festival Place

Your ultimate day out? Sorted at Festival Place.

Whether you're here for a casual mooch, a morning workout, a "just one thing" shopping trip (that never is), a next-level dinner, or a cinema switch-off session - Festival Place is everyone's favourite plan. And the best bit? You can make it completely your own.

Start strong

Bounce into the day at Flip Out (yes, adults too) with trampolines, foam pits, ninja courses and that big-drop slide energy. Or keep it classic with a gym session, class or pool dip at Basingstoke Sports Centre.

Enter: shopping mode

With 200+ brands under one roof, this is where "I'm just browsing" turns into bags in hand. From fashion faves like M&S, H&M, Next, Fat Face and TK Maxx to beauty stops like Rituals, plus Apple, Pandora, Schuh and Superdry - it's all here.

And the independent gems? Elite. Think vintage comics at Kushti Comics and locally produced finds at All Our Own Crafts.

Refuel properly

Post-shop hunger hits different, but don't fear because there's 20+ places to eat, the only hard part is choosing. Grab a Five Guys burger, dive into Mexican at El Bigote in Festival Square, explore bold flavours at Afrizi, or go big at Hans Buffet.

Lights down, chill mode on

Wrap it up with a blockbuster at Vue. Popcorn mandatory. Phones on silent. Main character moment secured.

Or... level up the competition and keep the good times rolling at Superbowl UK. Whether it's bowling battles or arcade challenges, it's the perfect high-energy finale to your Festival Place day out.

However you do Festival Place - make it yours.
