Had enough of the Centre MK? There’s still more shopping to be had. There are over 400 shops in the city centre alone. If you can’t find it, you’re not looking hard enough!

The Kingston Centre is a decent place to stop off at. The main shops are Next, Boots & Tescos. There are a handful of smaller stores and some restaurants. If bigger outlets are what you’re looking for MK1 would perhaps be a better bet.

Whilst MK1 Shopping Centre doesn’t boast the most comprehensive list of shops they certainly have some of the biggest outlets. The list includes H&M, M&S, New Look, Next, Outfit/BHS, Primark and River Island. Basically if you’re looking for clothes…look here.

In the towns and villages around Milton Keynes there is also plenty of shopping to be had if you’re willing to go the extra mile. Worthy of a mention is our very own town of Olney and Newport Pagnell,  Woburn, Stony Stratford and Wolverton. These towns all have farmers markets each month and a range of boutique shops. Within MK there are also French, German and Italian markets held within the city centre.

Xscape is actually a cool place to shop if you’re into extreme sports gear & clothing, check it out for the surfer/skater look.

The Theatre District is a wonderful area of MK and our favourite place to spend a night. There’s a great selection of bars and clubs within walking distance of Xcsape. Our advice; start here, finish in WonderWorld.

The Hub is a great place to spend the night too and with three major hotels nearby you really can. There’s an eclectic mix of restaurants and bars here and it’s worth checking out.

There are over 300 pubs and clubs in and around MK. Have some fun and find somewhere obscure, we can’t help you here but we’re sure you’ll have fun!

The MK Gallery is a wonderful place to visit and offers free exhibits of international art. It’s worth a look to see what exhibits are currently on to see what takes your fancy.

The Milton Keynes City Orchestra is a must for any classical music fans. In the past 30 years or more it has cemented itself as a national and international venue for top quality performances.

Of all the things to do in Milton Keynes The Stables is a favourite. Check them out for some fantastic music and sets. Some pretty big names in music of most genres and probably some of the best comedy sets outside of London.

If you’re stuck for things to do in Milton Keynes and fancy something with an educational flair there are some top notch museums on offer. Worthy of a mention are Milton Keynes Museum, Bletchley Park, The National Museum of Computing, National Badminton Museum and The Cowper & Newton Museum
