Trip to Ashford Retail Park

Part of Loneliness Awareness Week

Join Just Friends for a relaxed day out to Ashford Designer Outlet, with time for shopping, coffee, lunch and socialising together.

This trip forms part of Loneliness Awareness Week, a national campaign focused on connection and community. We know that something as simple as spending time together and sharing a day out can make a real difference.

Whether you are a regular member or thinking about joining us for the first time, you will be very welcome.

The train departs Eastbourne at 9:50am, arriving at Bexhill at 10:13am, St Leonards Warrior Square at 10:21am, Hastings at 10:25am and Ashford International at 11:10am.

Please arrive in good time before departure.

For members joining after Eastbourne, Frederick will step onto the platform at Bexhill, St Leonards Warrior Square and Hastings so members can easily join the group in the same carriage.

Ashford Designer Outlet is less than a five minute walk from Ashford International station. Members should exit via the International side of the station and follow the signs for the outlet. There is also a shuttle bus available for members who may prefer not to walk.

Members travelling by train can receive an additional 10% discount at participating stores by showing a valid train ticket at Guest Services to receive a McArthurGlen Club Day Pass.

Members can choose on the day where they would like to stop for coffee and or lunch, and are welcome to depart whenever they wish throughout the afternoon.

Members arriving by other modes of transport are also welcome to meet the group at the outlet after 11:10am.
