Take time out from exploring the epic landscapes and ancient cities of the Emerald Isle, and immerse yourself in retail therapy at Kildare Village

Well known as the home of the Irish National Stud, the beating heart of Ireland’s thoroughbred racehorse trade, County Kildare also hosts one of the country’s premier shopping destinations. Located less than an hour’s drive from the centre of Dublin, Kildare Village boasts more than 80 luxury boutiques, selling everything from designer handbags to upscale homeware. 

The open-air boulevards are dotted with familiar brands – Anya Hindmarch, Coach, Mulberry, Belstaff, Hugo Boss, Furla and Reiss – all with up to 60 per cent off the recommended retail price for designer offerings.

Or explore the best of Irish craft, fashion and design at Só Collective – a new home for Irish creative talent, showcasing the stories of the skilled craftsmen who continue to reinvigorate the island’s fashion and craft scene.

Open from 10am to 7pm, and with private transfers available from a range of city locations, Kildare Village is easy to find. Executive Club Members can earn while they shop, collecting five Avios for each €4 spent, while Members making the trip between 1 June 2016 and 31 August 2016 will be able to collect double Avios.

During your visit, make sure you take advantage of VIP lounge access and hands-free shopping – both of which are complimentary to Executive Club Members. Rather than getting laden down with bags, pick out what you want and boutique assistants will pack up your purchases and prepare them for collection at Kildare Tourist Information when you’re ready to leave.

To take advantage of this offer, simply present this invitation and your BA Executive Club membership card at Tourist Information in Kildare Village. For full terms and conditions, visit chicoutletshopping.com
