The White Hart is an ideal location for a shopping break away. With one of the country’s largest shopping centres as well as the nations’ favourite Ikea only 15 minutes away there is plenty of opportunity for a day of retail therapy. For a more relaxed shopping experience, step out of the hotel onto the historic streets of Ampthill.

Ampthill market town

The town hosts a market every Thursday selling fresh produce, household wares, upcycled furniture, and many other local offerings. The town centre has clothing boutiques, jewellery, homeware and gift shops and an impressive antiques emporium set over several floors.

Centre:MK

Open 7 days a week, the Centre:MK is one of the largest shopping centres in the UK. The walkways, built predominantly of glass, with Grade II listed status, offer a unique and enjoyable shopping experience. With over 250 mainstream retail brands and a wide selection of eateries, it is easy to spend a full day shopping before driving the 13 mile journey back to The White Hart to relax and unwind.

Ikea

A 12 mile drive takes you to the home of flat pack furniture and Swedish meatballs. Furniture and accessories for the whole home and garden are available all under one roof.
