We hate to be the ones to say it – but the big return to school is just around the corner and, whether you’re after new school uniform essentials or super snazzy stationary, Lakeside Village is here to help.
We’re home to Doncaster’s only Clarks Outlet, where you can get your kids’ feet measured, and new school shoes fitted – for free!
You’ll also find school uniform essentials at Trespass, Mountain Warehouse and Sports Direct, as well as new notepads, pencil cases and more at The Works, and plenty of accessories at Claires.
Di Rodgers, centre manager at Lakeside Village, said: “The new school year always rolls around so fast once the summer is underway, it can be easy to leave everything to the last minute.
“However, just one trip to Lakeside Village can help get everything sorted – from new shoes from Clarks Outlet to the all-important pencil case and fresh notepads in Claires or The Works, as well as new school bags from Trespass, Sports Direct or Mountain Warehouse, ready to get the September term off to a great start!”
As well as being home to more than 40 stores, Lakeside Village offers free parking close to the shops and there is always something to keep children busy. With a free indoor and outdoor play area and onsite cafes for a drink and a bite to eat it is a safe, welcoming environment.
The centre prides itself on cleanliness and accessibility with a changing places facility, breast feeding room and a weekly autism hour for a quieter shopping experience.
Di added: “We offer lots of free family fun and entertainment throughout the school holidays and offer a safe, welcoming shopping experience for our customers.”
