I recently went on a day trip for some christmas shopping at Milton keynes.In the Oxford area you are able to get a family explorer ticket on the bus which covers two adults and one child or one adult and three children for just five pounds.However be warned it took us nearly three hours to even get there.The shopping centres are within easy reach of each other (between midsommer boulevard and silbury boulevard).Once inside you are met by a vast variety of shops.eg fashion,computers,toys etc.This christmas(apparently they have something similar each year)consisted of a very large train ride,along the route children could see,bears fishing in a pool,a lighted starry tunnel and several other delights for children,stopping at santas grotto.Just outside some other stores had childrens characters,such as clowns and Mopatop.Also there appears to be a very large market,plenty of leisure centres and an exibition gallery which due to the many hours of travel we did not get chance to check these out,maybe next time although more expensive I should come by British rail.
The area is large so it is easy to get lost,but the maps and staff in the main shopping centre are extremely useful.To see all that here an early start will be needed.Ps. nearly forgot if you want some peace from the kids ther is also a creche although there are limited spaces.
