Reviews of Prince Bishops Place

A. S.

Very convenient place, all the stores at one place 👍👍 And also it has Bertie's play Barn for kids to play.

J. H. R.

A sad experience on a dull Saturday morning, very few people around, maybe it has become a place where local people only visit when they know what they want. There seemed to be few tourists, but then it was a miserable November morning. Too many empty stores, perhaps over-renting causing too many failures. There is also a lot of competition within walking distance where other retail arcades are drawing similar experiences.

p. w.

Durham Town Centre is looking fairly sad now... Most of the bigger shop names have moved out now leaving the town looking very tired and empty.. Still we go every year as Durham cathedral is still worth visiting

R. U.

Durham has something for everyone, nice selection of shops, plenty cafés, restaurants and bars, nice indoor Market and lovely Riverside walks, not forgetting the Cathedral which takes pride of place. Parking available in town or use the park and ride, well worth a visit.

F. K. H.

Fair selection of shops, car park convenient, if a little overpriced Only downside everything still closed at 5 even though it was a Saturday in December and Christmas festival day.

S.

Beautiful place, lovely and calm within such a busy city. A brilliant range of different shops, cafes and pubs around. Great history around and great photo opportunities. Very clean and well kept environment.

M. L.

Plenty of shops Great idea regarding the umbrellas. Each on named after a loved one lost to cancer. Just £5 per umbrella. Two losses in our family.

S. H.

A great carpark close to the city centre, reasonably priced.

J. D.

It's clean and tidy, but a better selection of shops would be good.

V. R.

Great place nice shops. Saturday morning has a lovely market day as well. Great food cheap prices

A.

We just used the car park. Easy number plate recognition so no tickets to lose. Plenty of spaces and centrally located.

G. D.

Looks fine but arrived on a really wet day.

M. B.

Stopped for a quick bite before leaving Durham.Fast efficient service the fish n chips were delicious.

t. i.

Easy access for central Durham. Shopping, river walks, Cathedral etc

A. H.

Getting quieter and quieter. For a city centre the lack of shops is serious.

V. S.

Excellent shopping and sightseeing place with churches, food places and shopping. Lot of paid parking available so it is convenient to travel by road. Good places to visit if you are travelling up North.

N. B.

I love these shops. Not many around now. I just love how friendly the staff are. As they are so rare the shop is definitely worth a visit. You can shop online, pick up and return to the store. Keep our High Street shops going. Not to just keep the store afloat but the staff jobs too.

M. D.

Great place to visit loads of shops open even on Sundays with people mingling about

m.

A beautiful part of the UK and carpark is easy access to Durham!

C. F.

Nice little shopping area, shame distillery not open, but an excuse to return!

G. W.

Great range of shops and good to see do many have survived the Pandemic. Some great brands too from monsoon to JD sports. Pattisserie Valerie always worth of visit for delicious cakes. Easily accessible from the prince bishop car park, but it's not the cheapest place to park in Durham. Clean toilets and plenty places to stop for a seat if you need to. This place will look great once the Christmas lights go up. It's also really good proximity to the main market Square and bars and restaurants.

C. W.

Perfectly located for a walk through the city center and to the cathedral

J. R.

Clean spacious shopping centre Central to Historical Durham. Close to market Square and Historic Durham Cathedral and Castle

R. H.

The car park has several charge points for EV's on the lower level. The ramps are a bit neat but as have pedestrian access on them. There are 2 streets for the shops and they are not covered, but it is clean and tidy. Modern shops, coffee houses and the usual assortment of town shopping.

S. A.

Lovely place to visit. We were here just before Christmas, lots of good shops & restaurants. Lovely outdoor / indoor market not many places have them now in the town centres.

K. K.

Didn't shop it was just a pass through to the carpark

J. P.

Great day out. Nearby restaurants and bars. Worth a visit

i. s.

Good for a shopping trip.. loads to see & do food / drink / shopping easy parking .. short walk up to cathedral & down to river front

I. J. N.

Lovely narrow streets, especially on a good day.

S. “.

I parked in the multi storey attached to this centre. It was a truly horrible experience. The car parking spaces are far too narrow for the size of today's cars. The payment system is very different from normal pay and display but there is no explanation given as to how it works. Thankfully I met someone who was kind enough to explain. It may have been a good idea for the floor numbers to be painted onto the exit doors leading to the staircase and lift rather than on the ceiling of the actual car park which you don't see as you drive in to park. Not a good experience, but the rest of the centre was OK.

K. B.

Such a shame a lot of shops have left. Starting to look a bit bare.

F. S.

Love the idea of the umbrellas, really inventive. Good mix of shops.

D. B.

Lovely little place to go and shop and enjoy a coffee and cake

M. H.

If tourist are hoping to do some good shopping in Durham they are in for a big let down. Durham main Street in town never seen it to full capacity with all shop. They have add colour and features with colourful umbrellas. Now a common feature across towns. Wished there were more shops which is hard when Durham is small.

S. H.

Nice amble round the shops. Not too crowded. A market in the square and live music. Great

D. R. Y.

Great location, a short walk to Durham Castle and Cathedral. One of the cleanest multi storey parking I've been to. Easy Access with Lifts. Toilets are available. Price is reasonable. 👍

B.

Only walked outside but loved the colourful suspended umbrellas

r. m.

Loved it very clean and secure.

D. O.

Love this place....NE very own mini York.

V. C.

Lovely shopping centre in a beautiful city

K. C.

Easy access from the multi storey car park. Just over £2 to park. TK Maxx had some really good bargains and seem to have a good selection of items

S. S.

Central parking venue. Very busy on this day but still had spaces. No fuss easy payments. Would use again.

A.

Love the food and prices. Great customer service.

G. W.

Nice range of shops and very reasonable price for parking. Ice sculptures today!

T. S.

It was quite a surprise to find such a wide variety of outlets. Great to see top retail outlets among less well known outlets. The area is kept very clean, which adds to the whole experience. Seats dotted about the site enable a restful enjoyment of the area. The site being above the car park only adds to the ease of access. Located just off the market place its adjoinment creates a pleasing juxtaposition between old Durham and the new.

T. X. x. x.

Durham is always a great place to visit, eat out and look around the shop. Plenty to do and see. Work ongoing to improve the city centre and create more retail and leisure facilities.

R. A.

Durham is awesome! Great parking in this place, close to everything that is to see in the centre of the town!

S. S.

Good variety of shops and lots of input from the council to keep people interested in going into the town. Good parking and toilets

I. A.

Not crowded, covid safe

F. B.

Excellent service lovely Latte and sandwich

E. W.

Once a bustling little shopping mall in the heart of this beautiful market town, The Prince Bishop shopping center is now filled with the sort of shops that capitalise on the vacant shop-fronts previously occupied by large chains. The highlight of this open-air mall is probably H&M or Paperchase, but the 'kids activity centre' is like something from a mothballed seaside pier and the 'hair accessories' and 'gifts shops' equally a little bit sad. Perhaps the Prince Bishop Centre is a reflection of the wider dying highstreet, or maybe it is just indicative of the inability for them to attract relevant stores.

R. J.

I am usually live near Prince bishop City centre. That's why this is everyday visiting place. I go there whenever i get free time. Then i visit their shopping store and buy my favourite and necessary stuffs. I love their roads. Their nearby bridges and coffee shop and parking space.

e. 8.

More than ample multi storey car parking structure. Huge selection of shops and places to eat. Literally something for everyone. Scenery is amazing as it is in the middle of Durham with lovely river and cathedral overlooking. Wouldn't recommend for people with mobility issues as the area gets a little tyring walking around but you can easily spend all day there without noticing. Parking is reasonably cheap considering location.

S. S.

At least if it raining the umbrellas are useful

D. D.

Nice setting and pleasant experience some nice walk round the shop and a few markets stalls selling wooden carvings also food stalls. A couple of other stalls selling paintings. A couple of steep walks around the centre but it was lovely because it was a nice sunny day.

J. C.

Very nice and clean shopping centre.

I. R.

Great place and lovely staff

S. F.

There's a decent selection of shops here. There's parking right by the shops and Durham Cathedral and other key attractions are just five minutes' walk away.

L. D. C.

Quite an historical and well kept City. Quite green in areas around the river. I did not visit the shops, there are ample places to buy and visit. Good array of bars and cafes. A few were still closed regarding lockdown. I hope they open however. Worth a visit.

P. L.

Clean,tidy plenty space to walk around and abundance of shopping. Would recommend.

H. “. M.

Good shopping centre in a good location. Car park has plenty of spaces and isn't too pricey, but the traffic management around the area is a bit of a nightmare. Perfect if you want to do a spot of shopping, grab some lunch, then go for a nice walk. Quite 'studenty' so good for bars and nights out.

g. c.

Best food you will ever buy 9 pounds all you can eat

T. T.

This is a shopping centre and car park in the centre of Durham, by the river and near to the Cathedral and Castle. The Castle is closed to visitors due to covid. The carpark is very reasonable priced.

M. R.

Getting better after all the work that has went on

c. g.

Beautiful, historic city. Nothing better than a stroll around the streets of Durham on a sunny day.

N. S.

Always worth a look round

S. C.

The multistorey parking is good, not too expensive like some city centres. A wide selection of shops, places to walk, eat and drink, something for everyone.

K. N.

Pretty much the same as many other open air retail area. Clothes, coffee, banks, stationary and toiletries. It opens up to the market place and access to beautiful Durham City. Car parking is good, although sometimes you have to be patient to find a place to park

D. D.

No decent shops and a lot of empty units just like every other city/town centre. Needs something to make it buzz again. Prince Bishops car park still busy tho.

D. n.

Love durham. Full of smaller shops. Lovely day out.

m. s.

Nice to see so many shops trading after the year we have had. We'll worth a visit

J. L.

Like most of Durham a lot of shops are closed. However those that are there are worth a visit. Patisserie Valierie sells amazing cakes

T. B.

Not my idea of a good time. There are a lot nicer bits to Durham. Like the cathedral.

R. T.

Ideal for a local shopping experience and also well worth travelling too.. Clean and friendly city with a good selection of shops. Market days in Durham are worth a visit too. Some great places to grab a bite to eat too. The actual city is such a beautiful place and coupled with a friendly shopping experience makes Durham well worth a visit and a great day out.

m. a.

Very good car park, easy to use and ro pay, also very nice views

M. T.

Wide variety of shops cheap car parking for the heart of durham clean and tidy and stones through from the market place

s. c.

Visited Durham for the day forgot how picturesque it is. Love the brolleys in prince bishops shopping mall reminded us of fethiye which we've sadly missed this year good choice of shops and nice and clean.

P. E.

Durham center nice place to visit in summer nice indoor market.

S. W.

Colourful umbrellas above and all round nice aesthetic it comes with multiple stores and some cafes and iis attached to a carpark, worth a visit and ext to a subway if your hungry and a big square with stalls to look through

J. J.

Good selection of shops

D. W.

It's pretty much a standard small shopping centre. It has the standard choice of main retailers which will provide most people with all their traditional requirements of a standard shopping centre. Purchased 3 items of clothing which were well worth the money I paid. The weather was lovely

B. D.

The most beautiful recent shopping arcade I have seen. A tribute to Leeds' Victoria quarter ! A must see, even if you are not in a shopping spree.

J. G.

Park and ride would be the best way of accessing this rather than the multi storey car park. I like this shopping centre as it is open aired. However some of the shops keep changing. You won't be able to find everything you would in a bigger place such as the arnisons but the hunt is part of the thrill!

D.

Pleasant without being overwhelming.

M. C. (.

The shopping centre is small by comparison to some but has a good variety of shops. Patisserie Valerie is one for those with a sweet tooth. The area is kept very clean and easy access to the carpark which is handy. It is wheelchair friendly as it is flat and you can easily make your way to the main Street where you have banks and places to eat

K. J.

It does have the common problem in Durham, which is the overabundance of empty units. However there are some really nice stores such as Paperchase, and the independent gift shop Elvet & Bailey which stocks local artists such as Rhianne Sian Designs.

P. H.

Easy walking area if a bit chaotic. The bridge is becoming a regular gathering place for pavement drunks & beggars.

P. T.

Central area, easily reached in Durham. Parking nearby (paid). Popular with visitors and tourists it seems, though, really folks, it's just a shopping centre with ample places to eat and drink. Plenty of other shops nearby too.

C. G.

A neat and tidy place for shopping. It is not a mall as such, but a street with all manner of shops bunched together.

S. S.

As good as it gets with most shops occupied

D. B.

Good parking and good range of shops

S. W.

Fantastic shopping experience is Durham, and having the Cathedral and Castle just off the Centre is a beautiful bonus, as to is the river running through.

k. S.

Pretty busy. Too many buskers irritating having to listen to their noise whilst enjoying a shopping and browsing trip.decided not to have lunch too noisy

J. B.

There's a nice indoor market and a medium sized Tesco. There is a lot if brand shops and a few interesting ones. It has plenty of eating places and a lovely little theatre. Makes a nice day out and is easily accessible by bus or car.

S. L.

All shops observing social distance rules beautiful shopping centre but mostly uncovered lovely shops cafes and treasures to find beautiful walks round the river very clean place always love to visit here

P. W.

Good central location. Car park, supposedly with EV charge points (well hidden, didn't find them before we gave up and parked).

s. p.

Shopping wat u want u can get

M. R.

Nice pub,quick service at a busy lunch time great staff,good food and drinks.

M. H.

A very colourful shopping area in Central Durham, good variety of shops, also entrance multistorey car park and public toilets.

C. M.

Just go there for Boots or Sweet Tooth Delivery mainly. Not an awful lot there these days one by one shops leave and there's not lot to keep shoppers in Durham. Especially since hearing One or two more shops are closing down soon. Such a shame since it's the only shopping mall in Durham Centre. Hopefully plans are going to be in hand to improve what's there to shoppers.

L. B.

Nice area to sit and people watch. Next to entrance to indoor market. Always lovely flower display.

J. M.

Clean and tidy shopping centre , not many shops lots of places to eat and drink around, it's also next to an indoor market with stalls outside as well.

A. H.

Small modem open air shopping ctr. with its own wifi! Often has attractions in the square. Secure parking not too expensive given its city centre. Close to the picturesque riverside and comes out into Durham market place.

V. “. W.

I had a lovely day out when visiting in the indoor Market and the local pubs around Prince Bishop shopping centre in Durham., They had a street market on the last time with world foods for sale, being able to people watch and the stalls with their smells of culinary delights was fabulous.

R. A.

This is not your normal centre. It is small and outdoors, fitting in easily with the rest of Durham. Other than the mouth watering patisserie in the heart of the centre, it is a mix of your usual chains and franchised coffee bars, and you will probably walk straight through to get to the more specialist shop in the city.

J. S.

It was great especially with the upside down umbrellas and alot of good shops to go into browse or to buy, will go back there again when I'm down

l. h.

Very easy to park and pay with card and next to shops via stairs or lift.

L. C.

Easy parking and quick access to town shops. Toilets handy there and paystation. Not a bad price for parking either and toilets seemed in good order

A. F.

Nice and handy with conveniently placed lifts. Helpful staff if you have any problems.

j. s.

First time there since lockdown. Quite a lot of shops have permanrntly shut and this is reflected by how few people were there. I can forsee more shops closing forever and this place will become less attractive to visit.

J. C.

Always a pleasure to visit Co Durham's main city shopping centre, to experience shopping made easy, especially via park-and-ride facilities. . These convenient out of town car parks, with regular buses to transport you into the city centre, are a boon to city visitors. Drivers.. husbands and partners.. .. don't dispair when you are persuaded to go shopping. Durham City is the place with easy park arrangements in force. If you have to take the car with you, the multi - story car park is another option to park and ride. A large number of popular retail units to visit, with the city centre hosting outdoor entertainment, cafes, restaurants, etc, compliment your visit to Durham City. There's even a boat ride on the river the kids will love. Good luck, enjoy.!

m. c.

A nice selection of shops for the shopper who just wants to pay a quick visit for both everyday, and less frequently purchased items, and in accordance with the regulations, some areas have restrictions on numbers of people in the stores at any one time.

R. C.

Nicely designed shopping centre with some open air places as well as under cover shops. Parking (multi-storey) is a bit pricey for a short visit (£2.10 for up to 1 hr). All the usual shops are here. Central location.

T. W.

Very well located, easy to find and access by car or on foot, the centre has plenty of parking space and leads into a good collection of shops right at the heart of Durham city centre.

H. M.

Durham a nice selection of eateries and shopping. A great day out.

m. d.

Seems to be going downhill, shops close constantly and any new shop that opens you know won't be there for long. I'm not surprised though rental prices are through the roof, it would be a great place to have a pop up shop scheme with local buissiness filling the smaller units and the larger units could still be used by the larger retail companies, you could easily fit 3 diffrent shops in the old BHS unit

J. N.

Not been in Iceland stores for years, I've been missing out all that time. It'll be a regular stop going forward

D. M.

Great shopping experience. Mix of high street names and local independents. Perfect for gift shopping , browsing and socialising.

A. W.

Very nice disabled parking. Good access to the shopping

S. T.

This is a nice shopping centre. The only problem is with the toilet facilities in the car park which can be a bit unpleasant. However, there are a lot of nice shops and cafes here and I enjoy going here. The pedestrianised area is kept very nice.

E. L.

Just the one short street, but good looking shops and always nice and clean. An excellent car park underneath that also gives access to the riverbanks.

G. W.

Expensive parking in the multistorey car park, payable by card or cash so if you forget your change there's no problem. Decent Disabled parking on the lowest levels and reasonably fast lifts make visiting easy and it gets you really close to the central bits of Durham. There are a few empty units and the quality of those remaining open is, in my view, mixed but it does mean you can find something for most budgets. I hope someone takes the empty former BHS soon though.

D. F.

Very nice place featuring a range of stores and caffes alike. However, recent changes have resulted in less stores and more tea rooms. This is not a place where I would go to shop for personal items.

A.

Lovely atmosphere at the street food festival in the market square tonight 🤗

s. m.

Most the shops are open still a few empty spaces,

E. S.

With shops like tj huges, next, super dug and Costa, it's worth looking around. Call into the local Durham shop that's got some fab gifts

z.

I haven't been to Durham for a while, and we went to see the fire and ice event. Which was in the Prince Bishop shopping area. I think they have a wide range of shops cafes restraunts. Parking aswell. Yeah I like it. It can get busy. And cobbled streets near the shopping area. So if you have pushchairs or wheelchairs it can be a bit tricky. But the paths are normal in the Prince Bishop shopping area.

E. D.

Durham City Centre nice to visit, car park awful if you drive any thing bigger than a 60s mini

J. C.

I suppose we can say this is a work in progress pretty much like most of Durham city centre. I am looking forward to see what the transformation is, a lot of work to do.I will do updates as and when things are completed. Watch this space !!!

M. C.

Decent selection of shops here. The parking was a little hectic when I visited but other than that a decent place to shop with all shops having decent Covid 19 measures in place.

J. 4.

Seems pleasant enough, lots of shops to browse, all clean and tidy.

R. R.

Nice ride very plesent

A. R.

I like this shopping area. Good shops & plenty of room. A bit soggy on Saturday though

S. H.

Shopping in Durham is very nice plenty of things to see and do. The shopping centre is nice but only a small part of Durham. Fair price for parking at all hours.

M. S.

I love Durham city. Has most of high street shops. Lots of eating places. Lots of pubs. Fabulous cathedral. Cobbled streets lovely riverside walks. Oldy world indoor market. Train station within walking distance. Good central bus station.

O. M.

Nice to see shops back open and lots of people about just waiting now for cafe to have sit inside

R. C.

This is a nice little shopping centre which contains quite a few well known shops within it .

S. M.

Nice area but hilly and cobbled roads so bit difficult if you have arthritis but plenty places to chill have snack

D. B.

Very interesting mix of individual shops and very nice coffee shops etc on the way towards the cathedral.

P. L.

Excellent selection of high shops including Costa and Patisserie Valerie for refreshment. The archade is modern and outdoors but very clean and most notably - no chewing gum on the ground. It is right in the heart of Durham but is served directly by a multistorey carpark with loos.

T. W. S.

Lively, but not crowded, plenty of time and space to browse the shops.

P. H.

I think if you want some lite exersize the ping pong parlour is a great asset to the shopping centre sited at the back of M&CO you go through there shop to get to it play table tennis for free challange your friends the robot or even feel free to challange ping pong paul the ping pong parlour open daily from 10 till 4.30 Monday to Saturday & 11 till 3.30 on a Sunday, & did I say its free also you can visit Bertie's Play village and be PC plod or even firemsn Sam or possibly see Bertie himself (on occasion) , there is a small charge for the play village £2.00 for half hour £3.00 for a hour so yes, guys, girls, lady's, & Gentlemen boys & girls come and pay a visit it is well worth it

m. s.

Loved the fact that the parking was reasonable. Lovey visit to Durham.

R. H.

Came across this little Beauty, selling great local produce.

M. A.

This place helps add much needed variety into Durham city's shopping experience. There's free wi-fi, which never seems to work for me, and the layout and look match the city centre (which sadly has not always been true for things that have been built in Durham city).

M. W.

Lots of cafes and coffee shops

M. W.

Easiest car park to use in the whole of Durham, and cheap too. Shops are fairly conventional, but quite a variety.

S. A.

Great little shopping precinct with variety shops. Loved the umbrella decorations when we visited.

A. H.

A victim of the pandemic as is much of Durham not forgetting Durham is a Building site and has been for the past five years the disruption to the city has destroyed tourism and its commercial value has slumped

K. T.

Nice shopping area with good access to the rest of Durham. Parking can be tricky and require a wait during busy periods but still the best parking location in the centre.

G. M.

Durham is a great place but the shops are mainly for the tourists, loads of coffee shop's. I'm mainly there for the night life some great pubs.

O. A.

Lovely shopping environment with nice food places. It would be nice if there were in the square an entertainment activity such as musicians and artists instead of advertising a car.

S. A.

Lovely shops great cafes lovely place to visit. Very easy to park multi storey and very reasonable parking prices. Right in the middle of the town near the river and cathedral

J. T.

Durham City. Shopping centre.durham is growing and improving .shops updated recently. Plenty of bars .restaurants to choose from. Some steep banks making wheelchairs difficult but not impossible. Close to the river with views of the cathedral a must for history enthusiasts.

P. P.

Good wander around with plenty of shops to browse

D. M.

We used Prince Bishops car park for a quick visit to Durham. It is a very high tech (and very easy) car park that uses numberplate recognition to let you in and out and allows you to pay using applepay (you can use cards or cash too) so the whole experience was paperfree and very slick. I think it was about £2 for a couple of hours right in teh centre

S.

Nice wee shopping area 🙂

S. S.

Nice a clean place plenty parking on site but you have to pay but very reasonable, lovely walk round on a nice day by the water plenty coffee stops and a bit cake of course.

R. P.

Really nice, continental-feel. Shops look small on the outside but are actually pretty big inside. Parking charges are reasonable.

D. S.

This is an extremely nice open air shopping centre / street with a good array of different types of shops. My favourite is the pop up gin shop run by Durham gin Try the oak aged gin as it's wonderfully different and yet still gin

R. J.

A good amount of parking for here. The shops are mainly chain ones, would be nicer if they were independent stores. But you can't have everything!

S. W.

Beautiful historical place this will meet a wide range of cultural individuals choice of good food whether it be fine dining to a snak.. music.. market on Saturday..river cruise views amazing i could go on if havnt been then you've missed out.

K. T.

Brilliant. Great centre above a multi storey car park with lift and stair access to shops. Right in the centre of the City and its atttactions

d. h.

A modern shopping centre catering for everybody's needs, for cafes bars restaurants banks. General shopping facilities are excellent with both small to medium sized shops.

C. M.

Very busy when we went. People sort of kept their distance. Enjoy Durham.

T. R.

Quite a few shops open but quiet due to current situation probably. Website states car park toilets open but they aren't presently

P.

Parking good, price fair...but only one shop indoors in shopping centre, all the rest outdoors. Came to shop and avoid the weather- best keep for a sunny day!

A. F.

Christmas wreaths hanging above walkways, make place nice and christmassy! Various shops, and coffee places. Busy at this time of year.

P. B.

Good shops and variety. fantastic no ticket parking, great disabled parking!

k. d.

Easy parking no ticket required and you can pay by card. Access to lots of nice shops in Durham city centre too.

V. M.

Really easy to park and great selection of shops!

K. B.

We parked just outside of Durham on the park and ride, buses every seven minutes. Lovely little shopping centre, quite busy.

k. g.

Nice place for a coffee and wander round the shops

P. L.

Good little centre, plus easy parking and also not a million miles away from all the funky quirky shops that abound in the vicinity recommend!

J. R.

A beautiful place to visit but parking a car is really difficult as we searched and searched for over an hour but eventually found a parking space. A must is Durham Cathedral it is an amazing place to visit and relax.

R.

Easy. Central

V. S.

It's a nice place. It just lacks mc Donald's rest you can find almost all the things needed. Moreover if you are not able to find some stuff you can visit the market hall.

f. m.

Nice to go and get photos took most of the shops were empty

P. R.

Good central location near to Cathedral etc. Expensive parking £6+ for 4 hours. Decent selection of mostly chain stores. Beware the congestion charging zone..

J. R.

Good clean shopping area close to Durham Cathedral, Durham Castle and Palace Green. Clothing stores coffee and food outlets with seating. Clothing stores and a chemist. Leading into Durham Market Square. Market day Saturday, Farmers Market Thursdays.

R. B.

Ok, but not great range of shops.

A. F.

Well located within the city, clean and good selection of shops

R. M.

Good parking and pleanty of coffee shops

P. H.

Very good selection of shops plus the market is well worth the visit

c. c.

Still a nice walk along shops arents good as in the past

J. H.

Some lovely little shops as well as the usual larger names such as New Look and Costa.

u. e.

a very nice for shopping

J. R.

Nice little precinct lots of different shops always clean and tidy

C. W.

The umbrellas are cute and there's some good shops

J. G.

T j Hughes is a great asset to the centre you can spend a couple of hours in that shop alone, also has a cafe you need to sit down in

C. F.

Durham is a great place to visit, old and new, diverse, Durham cathedral, historic and a spectacular building, lots of places to eat, and also the market and cinema. Must go to place,

N. S.

Great place, friendly, diverse and nice mix of people, great for meeting, coffee, relaxing, great atmosphere, lots of eating places, book shops. Can't recommend Durham enough.

A. M.

Some nice wee shops selling tasty local goods. Off to try the cider, hicup!

L. B.

Good shopping centre in the heart of Durham which is a nice city. Good multi-storey car park for the shopping centre which is easily accessible through Durham.

P. C.

Nice little shopping arcade with H&M, TJ Hughes, Patisserie Valerie and more.

G. W.

Clean but few empty shops now...not as bad as Silver Street...

T. K.

Shopping centre with many shops and caffees

Nice wee shopping outlet

R. C.

Loads of clothes and food here, has a very nice atmosphere and the streets are very pretty, in line with the rest of Durham City really.

E. G.

Such a beautiful building. But more than the building it the memories and history it contains.

J. T.

Love going to Durham it's brilliant just s pity there doing all those works at the moment

This is a small shopping centre with good parking spaces. There are shops like H&M and New Look, drugstores like Superdrug, some coffee shops and glasses shops, even a charity shop.

C. M.

Not a bad little shopping centre be better if more shops were open more empty units or closed shops than open

I. B. -. A.

Busy place - queuing out onto the road causing traffic chaos, on a main approach into Durham city centre.

This belongs to Durham wildlife trust. It's actually behind frankland prison! You can walk to durham from here. Lakes with swans and many different wildfoul. Very peaceful.

S. H.

Small open air shopping zone in Durham City centre. Pleasant, decent shops and a couple of chain type cafés.

I wouldn't call it a shopping centre just a car park with a lift to the street. Two streets of Durham open to the air and pedestrianised. Mostly or in fact all of them are chain stores.
