With nearly 500 stores, two separate covered shopping centres, more than 50 cafes and restaurants, and easy access and parking, Bristol’s city centre offers the biggest and best choice of shopping in the South West.

The newly transformed pedestrian streets offer a great environment in which to shop, and relaxing open spaces in which to watch the world go by.

The selection of national stores includes Debenhams, Marks & Spencer, Bhs as well as the UK’s second largest Primark. In addition, the wide range of independent retailers means the City Centre Shopping Area offers a diversity of stores difficult to beat.

Cabot Circus is a gigantic three-tiered shopping and leisure centre, which provides city centre visitors with over 120 shops including 15 major flagship stores and signature stores Harvey Nichols and House of Fraser.

Cabot Circus also provides space for all of the popular names you might expect on the high street, including Zara, All Saints, Fat Face, Cult Clothing, Topshop and many more.

Located in the heart of Bristol alongside Cabot Circus is The Galleries, an attractive, three-storey shopping centre, which is home to Boots, WH Smith, TK Maxx and a further 100 stores. The centre boasts a safe, modern car park with 1,000 spaces, all with special shopper tariffs.
