Is there a discount Shopping centre in Essex..?

[thesenses]

Hello!

So we are rather spontaneously staying in Essex this evening, and ideally tomorrow wanted to find a shopping centre to begin Christmas shopping.

I thought there was a discounted mall / complex here but can't seem to find it? Is either bluewater / lakeside a discounted mall? Or am I imagining it 😂🙈

Thanks in advance!!!!

Bluewater and lakeside aren't discounted malls...not sure if there is one!

Braintree Freeport 😊

Freeport

Freeport but it doesn't have a very big selection of shops, the ones they do have are mostly designer clothes so a bit pointless for gifts, and it is hades. I would avoid it like the plague. No good can come of going to Freeport.

Clacton shopping village?
