trafford centre

Me and my friend came to the Trafford centre on a girlie shopping trip. We started with a coffee, croissant and a gossip, followed by shopping in the Apple Store. With lots of nice looking restaurants we then went for a nice lunch where we planned our route round the shops... There are loads to choose from and to find Primark in Selfidges was an absolute find. The clothes looked so much more expensive and after choosing a couple of tops, which came to £16 they were folded nicely and popped into a Selfidges bag... Fantastic. The centre is clean and spacious. We had a fabulous day and can't wait for our next trip.

It's a shopoholic's heaven - however, speaking for myself, I have only ever bought one item from the centre in the three times I have been. It's an ideal location if you are shopping for an event or a holiday - there are so many shops under it's roof. Plenty of places to eat and drink too, which is always nice mid shop.Free parking too, best to get there early of a weekend as it can get a bit hectic.Only feature I don't like is how the centre has various concessions of the same shop - e.g. Topshop in three different locations.

This centre is ostentatious, with its faux Greek decor and wide avenue, but what is a one off wonder in the north-west of England are a dime a dozen In other parts of the world. Dated, awkward to get between levels, having to double back to get around both floors with escalators and stairs. The food court needs a revamp, faux shop fronts may have been quaint once, now look cheesy and dated. There are large chains here, some impress, some look like their time has passed. The movies here are extortionate and the seating old. I avoid unless necessary. I have had a nasty surprise in one of their bathrooms, walking in to discover faeces around the floor and seat. Not great.

I have visited the Trafford centre now 5 times since last august It might not seem a lot but being based in the midlands it’s not just a quick trip to the shops I came here in February to treat my girlfriend for her birthday. The Trafford centre literally has everything you need worried about parking? Don’t be even on a Saturday there is plenty of spaces and its free!! . We shopped for about 4 hours with a quick pit stop at the orient you must try it there so much to choose from burger bars, Pizza hut, china town, Mc Donald’s, you will not go hungry. I’m coming back up here over Easter to continue were we left off.

Another visit to the Trafford Centre where you can shop, eat, drink and be entertained all under the one roof. Free parking too.

This place reminds me a little of the Bay Marina Shopping Centre in Singapore. A great place to shop and eat with an amazing array of the top shops. Get there early as the car parks fill up quite quickly but it is free of charge.

What a great day out. Yes even for a bloke as even after I got bored with the sports and gadget places, there was sufficient other things to do to keep you occupied. The place is massive, but that does not detract from the service you are give... Credit Card took a bit of a hammering though.

The ideal place for a perfect day out! Great variety of shops and excellent food choices for everyone. Car parking is also free and easy to access the Trafford Centre itself.

Awaking from a horrible dream in which I saw row after row of High Street shops all together with happy, giggling ladies and teenagers carrying gift bags galore, I realised it was not a dream but I was in the Trafford Centre Manchester! As the largest "mall" or shopping centre in the UK, it will send justifiable shivers though the core of the male population. It really is huge; there are over 4,000 car park spaces with cars all fighting over the one free space left, even before the Stores open at 12.00 on a rainy Sunday morning in Manchester. On the up side, parking is free as a 2 hour ticket would be as much use as a colander on your head in a Gail force storm.However you cannot fail to be impressed. The restaurants and bars alone would make anyone venture out on a damp day. It is a fun place with something for everyone...even a food hall with over 1400 chairs where humans galore sample hot, great coffee whilst devouring the best of Sunday news. Jealous we don't live closer?? You bet...it really is that good!

this place has all you need, a range a different restaurants/bars, fast food outlets, even tho the hall isn't quite big enough as its always a struggle to find somewhere to sit, many different shops for all, arcade is good with over 18's gambolling, bar since with with pool tables and sports, i always go to the leather "comfy" seats at the bowling with the extra room but they do just have standard seating and lanes, there is also a small bumper cars, the carpark is a nightmare, always struggle, and there is endless amounts of people bumping up on curbs or parking in disabled bays or childs bays without badges or children, yet nothing ever seems to get done about it, the intu staff in there are friendly and fast responding, my gf had a dizzy spell and fell down the stairs, they arrived in minutes and make sure everything was ok and she was happy and safe before they let her go.

We go to Manchester every year one day in town and another in the Trafford centre and we still dont get to every shop its such a great place with something for everyone. There food court is brilliant such variety and restaurants upstairs the same! The place is beautifully decorated too

love this shopping experience ......plenty of shops. Seating through the mall if you need to recharge your batteries! Only thing to be aware of that Sunday opening is 12 pm - 6pm. We were dropped off at 11am, our coach driver had been told opening was 10am.

Shops shops shops a great place to shop well worth a visit runs rings round meadow hall loved selfridges can't wait to go back

Visited the Trafford Centre for the 3rd time now and would go back again, good choice of shops and a nice change from my local shopping centre in Solihull.

It is one of the best malls I have to been to in the UK. Amazing for shopping and dining. The theme of the mall and the architecture is mind blowing. The place is huge and has ample parking space. Btw don't miss out dining at the food court.
